iron and blood.

[rhythmriot]

 i can see her pulse in her neck.
she's standing there talking
and i can see her blood pushing
its way to her brain
allowing her to speak.
it's powerful,
the stream.
her veins,
so close to the surface.
so vital,
so delicate.
it's frightening.
i wonder
can anyone see my blood?
can anyone see me living?
is my stream visible?
is it strong
or barely flowing?
questions questions questions.
pulse pulse pulse.
dust to dust
and bleed we must.
pulse pulse pulse.
