The Storm Before the calm

Nauseous tablets
Stick in my throat
Washed down
With a caramel burn
Embered tin
Scorches fingertips
Preface to the choking smoke
Sharpened metal
Tears the skin
Drain me of my blood
All of this grief preluding
Perfect rapture
The storm before the calm

  1. Yeah, I was just curious. I was wondering if I knew you since you were following my blog. That's all...

  2. No, I don't know you. My cousin is having another baby in a couple of months (praying for a girl) and I like to keep track of different gift ideas. They are such Pottery Barn people and I like to get them unique gifts. They are always so surprised to get the beautiful well-crafted items that I get them, because they never saw them at Pottery Barn Kids.
