two of my poems just got published!
one of them (conquest) i posted several months ago, but here's the other:
Orpheus
in Hades we were most alive-
i will not forget your reappearance
your shadow fogged the raspy cliff walls
oddly distant from the acid bones of time
(but your eyes betrayed the flap of wings
obsidian death wrought with cold rust)
and yet, reborn from muddled clay, sheep's blood
coagulated from spluttering shadows, ice
our broken body's crooked song
(that dwells in darkness)
grasping madness manic soil lust
bludgeoned earth with white breath of
your eyes-
