Blood and Imagination

Cut your teeth on the skins of giants.

Reach out to the Poets of Renaissance.

Draw the short ending from the long hand.

Pound out rhythms in Iambic pentameter.

Callus’s form on fingers, wringing out cloth free of blood and imagination.

Memories painted with sweat and wine

To be burned into time.

Draw the short ending from the long hand.

Pound out rhythms in Iambic pentameter.

Callus’s form on fingers, wringing out cloth free of blood and imagination.

Phrasing easy to taste but difficult to swallow.

Get your arms around the breadth in overture.

Draw the short ending from the long hand.

Pound out rhythms in Iambic pentameter.

Callus’s form on fingers, wringing out cloth free of blood and imagination.
