2Crows
By Devil lyn
*
headless crows
under a radioactive sky
mother nature infects
the hollowed sockets
of lidless eyes, b l i n king rheumatic;
let me rest
these cold depths
upon your inflamed lips ~
let me part the butterfly
& spread the larvae
upon my Persephone`s nipple
& watch Hades` tongue
sprout featherless wings & weep
*
hush
l
crows f y,
violence in your sightless eyes
speak undoubted truths;
ragtown blues down
by the old ~
a silver haired man
lays down his hand
and s p r e a d s riffs
across the fishing line chords
about the \\caged bird// lady
with a virgin white rose
suspended in her jazzy-trash hair
eating strange passionless fruit
from the cavities
of the
headless crows
*
2crows caw ``CAW``
& sharpen their beaks
and follow [their lord of the dead]
where they are not wanted;
cursed by Samhain.

The opening stanza was as good as any I've ever read in this genre of the macabre Dev. Makes me feel like I can't help but look where I shouldn't. Cheers! - Dan

I love your verbiage in this, very captivating, like swansong snaking through your mind, compelling you to delve deeper and darker 'til light's out of reach. Will return to this piece, again.
