spiderwebs to walk through
I take apart myself
I//'//m inked loosely here
I hear voices and echos
I//'//m a tangle of twigs
I wear an iron key
around my neck
I//'//m a locked cell
I suspect my pen
I//'//m a fence of many stripes
I come and go
as a shadow
I//'//m the charcoal-blue darkness
of a storm coming
I look to absolve my own sins
I//'//m an open grave illusion
I walk alleys for pinecones
I//'//m breathing slower
and deeper
I pet the brute. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 73 [informant] => ming [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract ) Your Poetry Dot Com - ease the beast

I heard the blackbird sing
I//'//m constantly constructing
spiderwebs to walk through
I take apart myself
I//'//m inked loosely here
I hear voices and echos
I//'//m a tangle of twigs
I wear an iron key
around my neck
I//'//m a locked cell
I suspect my pen
I//'//m a fence of many stripes
I come and go
as a shadow
I//'//m the charcoal-blue darkness
of a storm coming
I look to absolve my own sins
I//'//m an open grave illusion
I walk alleys for pinecones
I//'//m breathing slower
and deeper
I pet the brute.
