A Lokean Devotional Poem
my heart
lay tenderized
seared on all sides
the offering
between his monstrous canines
Tag: poem
swirling light
through tree arms
laughter in the wind
Feathers
and
Arrowheads
both bladed
he said
catching in my chest
spilling me open
he tossed seeds
into rising night
I wore wishes in my heart
and kept stars in my apron.
this dance burns
beneath me
flaming floorboards
navy silk catching firelight
pool me
i thirst deeply
inside
my voice cracks outward
shell torn, shattering the quiet
I lift
I fly
flaring black wings in the sunlight
