Pomegranate Flowers: NaPoWriMo 2022: Blood and Answers

mostly Till We Have Faces

[4/26/2022]

Shiver and dodge a broken question,

Facets, angles, sharp and bright.

Try not to lodge rotten suggestion,

Send it back into the night.

–

Ungit calls for sacrifice,

Monster-faced beneath the veil.

“Holiness” must pay a price,

Drawn from far beyond the pale.

–

I will not accept the blight.

None deserves the old contagion.

Shoulder the load beneath the light,

Forge and heal an answered question.
