Bone Wreath

By Abberant

Silt-carriers creeping
Enigmatic tidings
-whiskering
Whiskey translucence
And vodka tonics

Age brought, silent sorrows
I wept them-slowly
For-for-getting,

I could be-
A demon cleansing wreaths
Of teeth and all
You see are leaves.

Petals grow on my skin
Talking venoms and frog-like sin
Yet people are hearing hymns,

Though my wrists are just over
Burdened bludgeonings
Theres blankness and hollows.

    Deeply haunting. Beautiful symbolism. Great personification. Profound images.

    I like the way you pay attention to the way the words sound together just as much as the meaning. "I wept them-slowly", what a rare line, wrapped in emotion and all that people think they might see...and all that really lies beneath.

    Yes, the language and visuals in this piece were quite intriguing. Ciao, T/S Scholar
