quickening we pace
an antidote sought
the shelter shell
a mask replaced
forgotten city
diamond dusted
broken like the cage
untrusted
the old quick wounds
defenses tame
taste thirsty fears
ghost seasons cold
embolden
enfolding
rise
like walls
a mist across the
distances falls
wall away ruin tryst
forgotten heart
enclave
enslave
the knocking in the
dead fall din
the darkness morning
like a fist
chromed dirty faucet
restless with
drip
drip
drip
vermilion words
against the white
like drops

I see
images of a city in ruins
Once a beautiful place
Destroyed by war or natural disaster
Maybe both
I see blood dripping
leaving drops
citizen's pain
poured out on the sidewalk
Chilling, yet compelling imagery
Your language as always, elegant
Words chosen carefully
Hope this holiday season
Finds you well, Steven
Thank you for the read

mystical
Almost an incantation or spell a collection of visions, dreams, passing images from the depths of a active and creative mind looking for something deep in the act of living. Love it.
