Lace Bone Beast
Lace Bone Beast | N L Shompole
2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Here is emptiness. Here is a mouth after a recent excavation, black with soot, devoid of kisses. Here are hands, trembling against the soft ache of morning, here are eyes, wet, wide, half-full of sky and loneliness. Here is belly, back, femur, spine, ragged and smooth all at once, all at once. Here are dreams, ink black and speckled, lost behind the eyes. Here is a muted elegy, crow's feet feathered over the eyes like lace. Here are the last strains of a dirge, wild, discordant, free.

Emotive poetry about love and how it tears you up. I picture a princess in a tower writing these somehow. For fans of milk & honey (although fewer feminist themes) or the princess saves herself in this one (better writing.) Picture from NL Shompole's Instagram.

Bookishlie Was NOT a fan of milk and honey at all:( buy this one looks interesting... (edited) 7y
