Fevers of the Mind Poetry, Art & Music, Issue 7: Bare Bones Writing II, 2023

Happy to have the following ekphrastic poem, written in response to a photo prompt by Ankh Spice, selected for this print anthology:

scald

this is the way

it comes for you

in the end

a valkyrie sun astride

the mountain's obsidian back

mercury swans and planets

laying claim to the words

of your bioluminescent suffering
