Resentment
A poem from The Black Hour
Two ravens sacrifice
one eye so I can see
through the cobwebs
blocking my view.
I hold them up
to the sky and divine
while hailstones pelt
my flesh. I feel the moon’s
pain as the sun melts away
illusions. Her words crash
against my temple,
begging for my reply
but my tongue refuses
to release its bitterness.
