Strike

A sweet glancing blow. 
Taste of iron, tang of life. 
Consciousness departs.

Crow

Crow flies arrow true,
from limbs hung in dark cold 
cloaks. 
Ebbed sun, strikes the day.

Out There

Aware now of its order;
Beauty apparent.
The voided and the nebulous eye.
Thought and memory span the divide.

Cobweb

Cobweb on window,
Catches drifting clock seeds. 
Minutes slip on by.

Fitful

Dreaming sleep leaves flesh,
fathoming our rituals.
There we clamour clear.

Miss Hannah

Bitten morning breath spilled from the door.
Defeated in her sanctuary, curled, wire hard.
“You’re a wicked and evil man.”
 
The keep, magpie hoard, cradling her wretched.
Bowed, stripped of quarrel, enrobed in argent.
“I was a young girl here.”
 
Stripping decadence reveals chattels of girlhood.
Eye-wide recall, affection and hurt alike.
“That belonged to my father”
 
Savage day, had carved through bone and home.
A veneer revealed. A void anew.
Cleansed of squalor, Stripped of refuge.
Night had found her destitute.
“This isn’t how it should be”
