The Night the Moon Bled
Two lone wolves
prowled the vicinity
Their father lay
broken and ensnared
in magical chains
Hati and Skoll
Howled to the misery
of desperation
Forging a bond
that could never
be undone
Blood dripped
from the crescent
razor at the feet
of the Gods
Not one moment
did the Aesir relent
in their ideals
A golden Valkyrie
Watched on and knew
That the night would
end in bloodshed
Micro Darkness
I have found much more in darkness
than ever in light
So if you tell me that you love me,
tell me at night
A Day’s Journey
Dawn match snares with scarred hands Bleach Sun paints the East red Gold calf of high noon blends *
Cold Moon Sets in the sky Dusk spits its jet dark seed Eve falls in time with hands
