Sunday's Murder of Crows by Mimi Wolske


I know; this is sooo 2010, but here's a Throwback Thursday Poem from 2014

sometimes, more often than not,
I wake wondering Am I a vampire?
metallic taste--more than one spot--
covers my teeth; they require
a sweeping tongue, long on spittle,
short on the blood it can taste.
teeth clenched, they’re almost brittle.
it’s what I do at night, lay in waste
and nightmares of you alone,
in Mexico without me,
a murder of crows after your bone
and you cry for me as them you flee.

If you cock your head left a little, you will see the world through your favorite color. Cock it a little to the right and suddenly words spill from you to hypnotize others. That's creativity and it is you at your best.

’Twas the season of the thawed, frostbitten
pen and brush and a mad woman’s long-kept
secret in the attic of her temple that began with
words and hues losing power because they
were never spoken for ears to hear nor
brought into the light for eyes to see.

She danced around in a half-hidden war zone
on the edge of the universe worried whether
a room crowded with critics would or could
appreciate the life and love she breathed into
her children left hanging on bland walls and
bound in inked pulp to be plucked from tabletops.
