Blood Stains

Copper-like Blood stains stain my small notebook Flippin’ sick! Blood stains Drain on my piece of paper Disturbing… Dried-up blood Spew out from my open wounds Bloody mess!

For me, This is excellent metaphor for how one writes from the such depth. I can almost see the blood of the writer in the ink. Great creativity

Hey, David. I like how you refer to blood as copper-like, I see it both for the reddish quality that copper and rust have, and also the metallic taste of blood.

Quite thought provoking-- I have journals that look like that. Well written
