The Devil's Ink

July 3, 2023

Depravity’s eye

is looking back

its eyelid heavy

its pigment black

A twisted image

as yet profane

A sinner’s focus

of sharpened pain

Depravity’s eye

will never blink

With tears of sorrow

the devil’s ink

Forever watching

the future past

Its vision poisoned

—by judgment cast

(The New Room: July, 2023)
