fallen
January 23, 2014
a scorpion's sting
raw dullness
like a seismic
movement internal
unending, perilous
abyss landing on
stalagmites- cold, piercing
forgiveness slaughtered
by sword drenched
in sacred waters
goblets of ice
over nodes of Ranvier
unsteady walls
bending, melting
irises mist
clouds respond
spectrum subdued
tremble metastasized
A scorpion's poison
circulates perpetually
