30 Pieces

May 16, 2022

Raging flashes

time on fire

seconds flaming

moments pyre

Burning scepters

light betrays

torches fury

embers pray

Blind inception

blistered tongues

motion melting

boiled young

Bars of silver

chains of gold

locks of platinum

ingots stole

30 pieces

forged in lies

minted falsehoods

struck alive

Nights of crimson

skies of red

life has moltened

—ashes dead

(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
