Bitter BerriesA Poem by DannyLynne RileyYou fed me bitter berries winter berries from the mound the last thing I remember before you kissed my swollen mouth a pale sky and red stained lips spinning all around as I grasped at grassy Lords and searched for stable ground
what is this curse you have pierced me with? the juice of bitter berries on blood stained lips? and how will I ever find my way out now? I cant read your maps Ive long forgotten how
I will parish here on this harsh and frozen ground
amidst the unsettling sound of falling bitter berries as they scatter on the ground
