Like a Phoenix from the A.S.H.es


OOOOOOOOOUCH. Life came up and smacked me in the face

ONE TWO THREE FOUR

solid punches, blood dripping down my chin

in rainbow colors, covering me like body paint

Violence of the soul becomes art

and through that salty bitter ferrous flavor

I begin to beat again

I taste my heart’s liquid offering, I savor myself

like a fine wine

I read the hints and bouquets

BAM! A burst on the tongue

Music, poignant and fruity

full-bodied adventurous

subtle hints of language, poetry, art

travel and dream tannins

and my blood settles into deep ruby red

yes, I’m a delicate, alchemystic concoction

a genuine D.O.C.G.

opening up with exposure to air and elements

the juice of this beating fruit.
