words open and close
lips move, no sound
a gasp, escaped sentences
jump from teeth to ear
wide eyes to fists hitting flesh.
Thank you for reading!

Slid into heaven
Thanks to raven wings and bones
It is a dark room
Scattering of beads, thunder
I wake in the morn
poem written in Tanka form
words open and close
lips move, no sound
a gasp, escaped sentences
jump from teeth to ear
wide eyes to fists hitting flesh.
Thank you for reading!
