All The Fallen Maidens

Intemperate fog  
like bloodied  ink,      
 stains          
the souls,        
deceitful bitches.                      
 Lilacs mend        
the broken link,        
breath,  bleed,          
 wet        
sulphur itches                      
                  
Bleached,  cracking,            
splintered.      
bones, hold          
the roses          
bending , cleaving                
Granite boulders          
basalt stones,        
cradle      
spiders as their            
weaving                    
                  
Languish now fallen        
maidens,        
combing out their        
tangled hair                    
Coursing, gliding        
sacred ravens, tying      
knotted hearts          
ensnared                  
                  
Festered light through          
crusted lashes          
throw the coins      
 Into          
the void                    

Liquify, smolder 
ashes drink
it  all    
this poisonous  
 joy
