The raven’s hue

HomePoetryThe raven's hue

Stress coiled around her eyes.

When hope dissolved
beyond light-years,
she slid open her dresser drawer.

Beneath sprawling pharmacy scripts
and towers of credit card bills,
the black metal trigger pulsed
raven-dark, alive.

With a velocity that could split stars,
and energy enough
to fracture galaxies,
she became weightless
a wandering celestial body.

Her universe ruptured
as skull fragments scattered
like stardust ejected
from a ravenous black hole.

    1. I admire the character at play here.

      Some delicate details, very insightful imagery.

      Lots to explore within the stanzas.

      Carefully written, I enjoyed it. x

    2. Tim you take one of the darkest moments in life and write it into a liberation. You have the consummate poet’s gift to transform this ending into a new beginning.

      John
