WD 214 “Change My Skin”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Change My Skin I came to a realization At the peak of one lunar mountain The things that changed me were also changed.

WD 213 “Mermaid Blues”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.

WD 207 “Stethoscope”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Stethoscope Reflect all the Light that was taken away And be a beacon for the sick The blind, the def, lepers and Those with chronically weak hearts We had a boat that traveled by the ruddy glow of the blood stream Tossed by the reckless whimsContinue reading “WD 207 “Stethoscope””
WD 206 “Artifice”
A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth.
