Mic(hell)e

Here’s a short horror story I wrote some time ago, based on a picture prompt. Thought I’d share it for spooky season!

Would that the earth
Receive the burden
Of my body,
Roots interrogating
My bones, cracked
And marrow lapped,
Last rites read by
The rustle of leaves,
Creak of branch,
The wind lashed
Lament of foregone
Dreams interred.

I open the
Church of my
Lungs, let the
Psalm of breath
Pour through.
Sometimes music
Can be found in the
Middle of hell.

“I'm armed to the teeth
Like a fucking animal
Like a fucking animal
I ruin everything
I get my bony hands on”

I hide my
Memory
In the whispering
Wings of starlings
My darling,
Anything to
Forget.

With the
Setting stars
I sink beyond
The horizon,
What courage
In anathema
Met my lips,
Has drowned.

Third base is when I have an anxiety attack in front of you at the grocery store.

The fluttering
Beneath my ribs,
A name on a screen.
Messages from
The never was
To the never
Will be.

They whisper
In my veins,
The ghosts
Of the cosmos,
And I can’t
Contain the
Matters dark
That fill the
Spaces between.

A cathedral
Within your eyes
Reflecting an altar
Of stars, where
Wordless prayer
Escapes me,
A supplicant
Behind the black
Veil of night.

Can’t sleep. Tell me a story?

I wore a cardigan today and it was 88 degrees and I don’t care. If I’m wearing a cardigan, it’s fall.

Your prayers are
Whispered against
The skin of my dreams,
And I will answer
The call dressed
Only in the
Becoming dark.

The earth
Will yield
To the burden
Of my body,
All the love and
Grief in me
Seeping into
The soil,
Traces of
A life lived
On broken glass
Freed,
And I will
Finally sleep.

Under the
Tongue of
Twilight,
I dissolve.

Warn the stars off,
Let them fall
Into the sea.
I know nothing
But your arms
Around me.
If time be a river
Let us be stone.

There are
Constellations
Of scars
On my skin
Waiting to
Guide you
Home.

The stars know the words
Forever etched upon time.
The language of dust

[@sj_ashcroft2](https://libranet.de/profile/sj_ashcroft2 ) “ether” just doesn’t look right.
I have a recurring dream that I am painting stars onto the ceiling of a tomb, so maybe it comes out here in these moments when I write.
