A strange and twisted work from a strange and twisted time...

document of a slingshot trajectory for Icarus

shadows rest

not

but seek their will in corners
where they can gain toeholds
and spread cold seditions
the better to unmake
all good things

a time for all things
to every purpose
under heaven

including hell

where the bells do not ring
they spit venom
through crooked teeth
and steal our belief
in a place to rest
where the shadows
cannot find us
blind us
bind us
to a fate
invoking death

    Explaining the Tags

    You will note, gentle reader, that all works under this blog now display "tags" to help classify and assign the works for your review and enjoyment.

    These largely fall into 4 categories:

    Year of writing, e.g. "1999"
    Book published in, e.g. "from an unexpected quarter"
    Inspiring muse, e.g. "Aubergine"
    Genre, e.g. "erotica"

    We are still in the process of cleaning up the tags, so please bear with us. Yes, some muses are classified under more than one tag, some poems appear in more than one book, or not yet in any volume, and some years are...hazy.
