Image for the poem The Quill as Scalpel

The Quill as Scalpel

Wrapped serpentine, tenebrous, wand-like
Crowned in a resonant frequency -
Twists into a turn, or, turns into a twist
A reveal of the potential of a font,  where dark

Spectrums of ink meet a sharp focal point
Connecting, through animism, to the smooth cool
Of cover – Containing an archway of parchment

Awaiting revelations of darkness

*   *   *

The universe speaks sometimes
like fire from the skies

Sometimes…

Sometimes saying things like: I give unto thee

Pen

&

Parchment

*   *   *

And an everlasting world without end

Opening/Closing/Reopening: In precisions of incisions/uttered in letters.
