    Raven Wings

    Slid into heaven

    Thanks to raven wings and bones

    It is a dark room

    Scattering of beads, thunder

    I wake in the morn

Pumped Up [Poem #178]

 

Skin that pulls at the bones

muscle underneath ripples

with power, a pill here,

a pill there. The bones

begin to wear, the blood

begins to thin. A bulging

lump of flesh stripped of

hormones.

      So true! I was thinking about the body builders that start abusing hormones to beef up. I think it is pretty interesting.
