WD 41 “Chain Links”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Chain Links Chain linked, tied together,  wrapped and knotted in  serpentine  strands of metal.  I saw you crucified in a passive gesture, your bare back pressed against the fence on the hottest day of summer,  and the material world left its marks on you, cross hatch,Continue reading “WD 41 “Chain Links””

WD 40 “Hemlock Kid”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Hemlock Kid  There is a comorbidity in the stars  Crossing the cosmos like The feathers of arrows aimed at heartless echoes of emptiness  The dark and the light serve to complement each other’s weaknesses  One without eyes  Another with hands that can feel but not hold Continue reading “WD 40 “Hemlock Kid””

WD 39 “Arrogance”

A poem inspired by the Muse of Cold Earth. Arrogance Asteroids come Asteroids go  And the planet turns the same way Always a little to the left like a door off its hinges  Unhinged from the stable oversoul  We are terrestrial  Pioneers of a frontier not our own  A life and story we did notContinue reading “WD 39 “Arrogance””

WD 37 “Meaning”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Meaning When to quote/when to begin A sad display of lethargy Crowning, complementarianism  I feigned astonished: the refrain of a princess Laid in high regard Naked, as far as intentions go, but expected Late The Lay of Luthien Barren from conception And I proposed my plan Continue reading “WD 37 “Meaning””

WD 35 “Cryptocurrency”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Cryptocurrency A bleeding heart, at the cost of many souls Well shaken, stirred  Poured out and running over the banks of the river Tiber  Gleefully, I spring from my hiding place and promise you, the world Mine to give, mine to withhold  A hallucination of securityContinue reading “WD 35 “Cryptocurrency””

WD 33 “Needles and Nails and Crowns of Thorn”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Needles and Nails and Crowns of Thorn An inch to a sliver  For whom the bell tolls A splinter of disregard, buried deep below white skin  I believe in Christ, but sometimes I don’t know if he believes in me So, I blow on every wishContinue reading “WD 33 “Needles and Nails and Crowns of Thorn””

WD 32 “Romeo”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Romeo I scorn you Dressed in my best and all the evening stars  I turn you away like I’m turning from the straight and narrow path that leads to destruction  My heaving bones rattling like fists cracked against the crucible of rabbid dogma  Raising  Alighting  LightingContinue reading “WD 32 “Romeo””

WD 31 “Snow Queen”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Snow Queen As there are No more reminders of  The things that made you whole  I will project myself in the snowfall Crowned in the dust  Ashes heaped and Cradled  Like a bride, never to be- I spread my limbs out in the snow and hopeContinue reading “WD 31 “Snow Queen””

WD 29 “Yin and Yang”

A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth Yin and Yang A span and half a span The universes of darkness between two gas giants I am simmering with constant heat but you are a two silences and an explosion Defying, deifying  Some days the stars wash the daylight away from my eyes andContinue reading “WD 29 “Yin and Yang””
