Ribbons, 2021

seeking refuge
under a misty bridge
of nothingness
when the wind exposes
my primordial bones

Bone Dance

onyx floor
all the demons
under my feet

tapping out the steps
of a danse macabre

epiphysis
reshifting
my axis

coiled into
the skull chamber
a blood oath

passing on
the endless vendetta

at the cliff edge
grasping the chalice
on an altar of salt

morning mist 

the low flight 

of a white raven 

alpine moon 

brewing more coffee 

for the night

fireside story
a raven breaks the silence
at the end
