Raw Earth Ink
spit, mixed with dirt – muddy words flow
First Born
thoughts, like ribbons, wend and weave
behind my watery eyes,
beneath my skin
occasionally, while sleeping,
one lifts a fingernail and drops
unceremoniously to glass-covered parchment
just a slip of a thing, really
upon waking, I may give it a name
then send it out into a disinterested world
from there,
it becomes altogether, perhaps,
something new
merely a breath
a drop of red blood from my veins
