i only stumble into breath.
 1
inked deep within some
 2
crevice of a character,
 3
i insist there lies
 4
some shadow rid of death.
 5
 
 
beauty, breathing still
 6
within this carcass --
 7
a brightly glorious radiance
 8
that beats & bleeds with
 9
the fervor of any black-jawed
 10
beast i feed with pity.
 11
 
 
lithe thing sprawled
 12
boneless in my chest,
 13
once-broken blade lit
 14
fiery bright and tempered
 15
evenly at her own behest.

this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the bible.  cultural icons can be like, appropriated & stuff.  dumbass.

ok, so 'dumbass' might have been a little childish -- but the crow comment irked me.

Wow, a semblance of a rhyme scheme (or something akin thereof).
This is one of those beautiful ones. Well-formulated lines of words.
The concept itself is also... well, maybe beautiful isn't the appropriate word, but it's something close.
