The face of death
inside this vast darkness
in this deafening silence
stones are ice cold
webs covering the etched past
trapped bones
under the reeking soil
don’t make a sound
death suffocates my soul
as it taps upon my feet
clawing at my flesh
welcoming me into the depths
of the red stained waters
in this deafening silence
stones are ice cold
webs covering the etched past
trapped bones
under the reeking soil
don’t make a sound
death suffocates my soul
as it taps upon my feet
clawing at my flesh
welcoming me into the depths
of the red stained waters

some very nice images--
haunting--
complimented by a heavily rhythmic style--
the syncopations in the beginning are effective for this reader, as well as the visceral combination of heavy, thudding rhythms with primal imagery.
Enjoyed!

Re. The face of death
This read has an element of self harm about it, in my opinion. Either way, definitely an uneasy read, from my perspective. The suspense & chill factor come across a little too well. Superbly written!

Loved the dark and cold imagery. Got a little chilled reading this:) Especially liked the welcoming into the red stained waters.
