Carving Midnight Skin



You could lick
the night
with silver tongue
to send me there
one stroke
at a time
but it wouldn't be enough
to hide
the shapes of grief
you carved
into midnight skin


your truth, so freely spilled
from tired and aching veins,
bled warm to tainted ears,
still searching for
the cure for life,
but begging
for one last roll
in the devil's bed


you stole my breath
as your heart
pumped & purged onto
my broken shoulder
and I inhaled your words
even as they dripped,
burned, and you tattooed
your sun
to my aching moon


then you left me...
beneath the black & blue of night
grateful for the winds
that broke my back
and in that moment
I wondered,
how could I stand
strong enough
to carry the load,
without a spine?

Sash, re-reading this one and the revisions made, I was taken by the shift in your writing since this penning. When I first read it I thought it great of course, but now, with the passing of time, it is clear to see the 'new' you within the pen, a fuller, much more textured pen. Leaving this phase of you behind, has brought us a much more gifted Sasha.

You will always be,

Peace and hugs,

Paul

Yes, exactly, what Paul said, better, awesome,

Slipping out of the dark cellar here don't
want any help with gloom right now.

well sash, as you once said to me,
i enjoy your writing, no matter the shade you pour in it...
though it aches to know, sometimes it has to be in black and blue...
