Song of the Blessed

Skin trophy draped over chandeliers champagne corks popping below gyrating doves chanting like crow. Though wounded it slithers alive gathering hate for a big fang surprise venom trumps feathers with a roll of the die. Sated by sun and wrecking ball fate at the bottom of the nest it quietly lay donning a necklace of blue shattered egg. Surround the coil with a halo of respect most victories drown in shallows of brevity silent rattle is truly the song of the blessed.

Great write, Anthony. Enjoyed a ponder through your piece this AM. Like the lion’s roar, the rattle has been heard for how long? how much longer?The blessing indeed can be temporary, eternally relative and feigned.

Love your flavor and phrasing, Anthony - I will be back to read more. I enjoy the dark, crimped edges of your writing, and the wonderfully thoughtful phrasing and metaphor, (something I strive for) ... keep up the great work! :-)
