Blood that Screams to Forget

For you

Dragged, Dragged, dragged

The embers from my red hot,

Now ice-cold

You called it a furnace once

Now it’s all a sorrow dance

Frozen in parts, breaking apart

Why! Why! Why,

Did it come to pass?

The future foretold

Did it have to be so cold?

Couldn’t I ask for more

Encore of the nights

That smouldered in spite.

Kill! Kill! Kill,

The night for stifling day

Has come too soon

The blood that flowed with a hum

Bleeds but in clots 

as piecemeal, it whets

 When it shines

Dries in the lake

Frozen in place

In a state of play
