inflamed by its sputtering,
cavity muttering-
opened by oaken and metal frame fluttering,
lapsing from pavement and pierced into meat.
uttered uncomfortably, aortas ushering,
sizing in varicose clumps that then gush and bleed-
underneath-
addling-
marrow now callousing,
blood pools in pockets that rise then fall avidly,
omen of tragedy-
spilling haphazardly-
out through the holes in the abdomen cavity,
ribs weaving in with the antlers and atrophy,
breaching the velum, the lungs, and the tapestry
matting the fur and impairing anatomy,
mottled in apathy-
unsatisfactory,
violently waning to seize.
soothing the battery
bathed in a subtlety
gathering suddenly,
proboscis covering-
over the spills-
haemolacria bubbling,
butterfly, moth, and diptera now summoning-
spreading, embedding their needles and string.
bleating, unfleeting lachryphagous meaning,
now turning the pool to a flowering weave.
Ravens' Passion
by Cate Rock
A safe haven,
Protected by the raven.
All the world mistaken,
My dearest love, the raven.
Drained but beating,
My heart unfleeting.
Death to all thats lost,
Forever my raven, The boss.
Shaped in silk,
Draped in filth,
Yet my raven excepts the torn soul...
My dearest raven,
Speak to me?
Tell me sweet lies
Reveal the hidden spies!
My dearest beloved,
Why can't you see?
I am made for you,
As you're made for me...
My sweetest raven,
You speak not.
But i feel your words....
The pulse within me,
They fill my dark world.
My darling Raven,
Send me in the wind,
Cast me out and watch my journey began.
My lovely raven,
I speak now of my love for who?
My raven, i shall forever worship you.
