Keron Psillas - Photographer | Writer | Instructor Crucified Latrine Hannah Anderson Cold and empty land, Horrors buried in orchard snow In the visage of stone, merge the nameless Jewish Man Black corners inking dark, White door gaping wide Where your mouth abides, See the waste filled marks Gashing, reeking holes, within your chest of stone Filled with waste and bone, devour missing souls In the morning; Cock crows, Bells toll, Rope hangs Holes fill Ghostly they cry, Stone clogs his ears Blood fills their tears, Stone blinds his eyes Through white wide mouth, no escape from empty fate Cannot forsake, chest filled cesspools in the ground Leave the darkened hall, death’s promise to meet Loved ones underneath, stand before the Death wall

AuthorWelcome to my humble collection of poems. Though I have written many poems growing up, most of a free-verse form, it wasn't until a Poetry Workshop in Fall 2021 that I finally began to delve into the art of poetry. |
