Kim Van Breda Poet Prose Poetry

Testing the Edge

TESTING THE EDGE

unsheathed razorsharp
doubledged crimsonbled
dark holes feed blue moles
underneath dirt they skirt
claws braced throats cursed

testing the edge

in mythical maddening moments
Unicorns stab their Mermaids
laying their own sea beds of
shameful ancient slaughter

testing the edge

bloodbeating brainscreaming
red smoldering screens
blindfolded shielded against
past discretions obscene 
unseen mock reproductions
artificial redraged dreams
double edged crimsonbled

testing the edge


while stupidly they stare
and do not dare interfere
protecting clean blueveined
wrists not stained red by
unsheathed razorsharp
brazened blades

testing the edge
