November Poems 05

Murder, a Muse

I once was thought and deed,

a careless word, a judgement made

too harsh!

and then I grew

a fallen branch -- a broken skull

makes marks upon a blameless man

who fled into the dark

with sudden thirst soon quenched;

a sharpened flint

a wooden pole and sinew

and the cycle grows

until a birth in rage and pain

and I am here with you again.

I'm guessing it's back to a poem a day for the month of November?
