Silver Ink
-5 January 2008-
slice through the thin veil of tissue
you will find no crimson life force
there is no blood in these veins
there is ink
flowing through my body
carrying my life with it
onto pages and pages
I bleed
my history my dreams my thoughts
my life
written in blood
black and blue
on these pages
for you to
examine
criticize
hold up to the light
transparent
black and blue
drops of blood
