brandy

Time will be taken
to darken the
pages of life
with my own blood
fresh from a pulsing vein i
will spill myself out in small
painful drops that drain my
soul
like pouring an old dusty bottle of
brandy into your sink
to be drunken by rats

    great piece, very visceral and packed full of imagery. tough to do in such a tiny package. loved it!

  • ShadowDancer replied

    thank you so much, and you used one of my favorite words: visceral. don’t you love taking a little box and seeing just how much you can squeeze inside it without smashing? i like to do that with writing too.. squeeze every word until it has been dripped dry..
