Silence the Foe

Gloriaea

Horror Horror
Blood poured from my eyes
Every word you penned
Dug through my irises

But why foil the ink
Stuff it back in the pen
Hold one end to their jugular
Until they eat their stained paper

Why not
Pull out a fresh sheet
And let your heart bleed
Color every page
With the kaleidoscope of you
Until the lights shines
Various frequencies amplified
Blinding our skulls
Until they've expanded

Mute the poet
Cut off his chords
Or find your voice
And illuminate the stage

One Poem Only submissions are open.

I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
