Holy Red Rotten Ruins

Holy Red Rotten Ruins

A Poem by Poe Redd
"

exactly that.

"
Here inside our citadel of
bones, we tear down every
wall. Strip away the brittle skin
from the inside. Grim we may
be to rest in the eye of such
a delicate skull, our work
summons the sky into our
holy red rotten ruins, bathing
death in such a light that sees
us only as ants inside
a bird.
