A Poem by Kerry Orchard
They spill from honeyed lips,
softly, softly,
dripping venom,
floating wraithlike; chill breeze,
innuendo’s, misconceptions.
Twisting knife,
daggers thrown,
taunting, teasing torment,
double edged; bleeding.
Laughing accusation,
translucent, fluid,
drowning,
delicate endangered entity,
Truth.
Heated fury now coals,
fires burned; death,
ethereal drift and settle,
amongst dying ash.
As Phoenix, rise again,
deafening, crippling, cruelly
heard,
your words.
