Coagulation

Coagulation Starter – 3-28-24 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coagulation Finally, my blood began to coagulate, Flowing like insomnia Between the wounds of dawn and dusk When wounded memories drip pools of enigmas, Fleeting gossamers of absolutes, Drying into sticky puzzles. Bloodied dreams wander labyrinths, With no exits, Leaving spatters of millstones For ruminating relics to follow, Thin images of wispy encounters Fade In lost chords of words, Ghosts gel from gashes. Impostors of reality Spit rebellious clots into ruminating plateaus, And phantoms, To leave a crimson stain On unwelcomed daylight and martyred Mondays Stirring penance from clotting confessions. Tourniquets unbound, Veins transfused congeal in coalescence As platelets and corpuscles gather yesterday Into the flow, a cadence, blood pressure restored, The pulse of reminiscence throbs Memoirs course through venous vessels, Then seek a place To dream.
