how to write
when you fight demons
skunks
and chimps that bite
.
one hand tied at the back
one wielding a sword to hack
.
a foot sinking deep
in whirlpools of time
another tripping on carcass
of dead dragons and men
.
when spirits wail
haunted where they rest
scaring the maidens
who dance in the mist
.
bare backs painted
with blood from the sword
tattoos made
with needle teeth
.
how to write
when you fight
?
