"The Fresh Blooding of a Sexton Grin"



Guns ...

are for p*ssies
you know, short for 
pussilanimous plural

Words …

are sharper 
more cutting
more lethal 

clean 
concise 
quill slicing the lucid flow

you can taste the blood
as you turn them 
twist them further in 

with valour 
war cry bitten 
you drive them deeper in

you unsheathe love
as a hard win,
victorious, won

ink blooms 
potent power from 
your stellar wounds

darkened roads 
shining home
lux vitae dei vox 

Home ...

morning star 
quod scripsi scripsi
turns the light on

to birth puissant 
in the majestic 
seat of third eye

commanding
the truest titulus
initials glowing

arriving on cloudy tomes 
perilously igniting 
new fiery caims

swallowing 
ouroboros tales
hear the battle cry

you were built 
to withstand the fall 
to more mighty again rise

the gauntlet 
now well 
and truly thrown

something 
more darkly formidable
than shady insult sown

sink your new teeth in
fresh biting warrior 
I christen you Boadicea

blood cup possessed 
razor mind in you conjuring 
the tongues of hearts to speak

there is no escape
for in you, I am and 
I will always live

crucifying 
all the wasting yesterdays 
with fresh blooded promissory notes

staking claims of assurance
in the terror firmer
here to stay

sharpening 
words taken
from a stone

n'ere a flowery
verbose drip 
wasted 

salting 
the new cuts 
to feel something vital

smiling within 
fresh blooding 
the Sexton grin
