Sang bleu (In the wilderness)

five black chickens quarter death's door
facing the great ghastly tree
blackened mass pool black
upon dry ground

beneath oxidized sun
drained bow in reverence
take down this night
a dedication to holiness
chilvalrous command

ink sweat
sang bleu
the waiting room of the mind
the pattern we cannot discern
assaulted sky
young blood upon her feet.
