Blood is the choice ink
For hearts bitterly compressed
A vital letting
=
These words are my flesh
The composition of self
Stark in monochrome

My bones are brittle
The marrow siphoned through an
Esurient pen

Pain foreshadows birth
Genius craves anathema
The slander of id
=
Hands weave affection
Into rapacious membranes
Stories snared in flesh
