Howl





Howl 

Flesh of my flesh
empty my veins of
blood-names, fuel
my annihilation-fear
through the weight 
of your indifference
casually cut the certain
circle of life and legacy 
I shall howl 
to the moon
Willing tide-
turn as you 
table time 
immobilize 
immortality
and barren 
by design
consign 
me Ghost
grieving 
through
granite
forever
dead

  1. Hopefully that feeling will pass. I guess we will be reading a lot of sad writing today with the wordle words!

  3. I love the shape of the cross this poem takes (always admire how you make images with your words literally and otherwise)..it echoes a weight...heavy to bear maybe? Good to see you again

  5. Brave to use that title! — and you pull it off beautifully, with writing as edgy, extravagant and run-on as Ginsberg's, yet not derivative but all your own. Quite an accomplishment.
