Blood & Pain

I shun the words you long to hear,
my heart and spirit cry

The votive candle burning down,
its flame a dimming lie

My pen to struggle against your will,
and scribe the message owned

That blood has drafted and pain rewrites
-not borrowed nor then loaned

(Valley Forge: January, 2021)
