Muse In Red

Bookmark
 
Muse in red to my labor blue
blood on stone true yonder finds
wending beam ’round the healing bend
cautious flames light cooling minds 
 
connected words
snake & flower
 
serrated tongue for honeyed slaying
clever beauty cleft & splayed
salamandrine crawling under
stuck on point to mending ember
 
refining thew from tempered flaying
flowing gulp of purpled spray
skinning remnants torched asunder
struck a nerve on pale surrender
 
cauterized wounds 
worm & tendril
 
they snake ’round the healing bend
sentient flames soar to frozen head
blood from stone tomorrow dawns
now cooled to blue, my muse in red
