Blood Song
written by: Godfrey Holy and Tanya Rakh
no moon over water tonight
only dreams spat on fractured
twilight
no one beside me dying here
no sleep under these branches
now the key has turned,
and now wounds must bleed
time must yell and tell
of shadows over water
melting signposts
traveling shadows,
twists of uncertain
winters
splinters bend on lacquered sobs,
artery and chamber
a new ice age
the kind that guts the frost
more gore for greed to travel
cautious,
glazed and wide-eyed
awakened, the furious past
always the eyes, never the shine,
ever the rupture, never the thorns
always the water, never the
downpour
how cunningly
she arches backwards
the bluebird—how she breaks;
that quintessential sacrifice
a bloodied nest,
feathers scattered,
petals stained with flightless
tears
no bed of leaves,
no hope to hold her
