Dead Snow

I will make a real post soon I promise

In the meantime here is a plug for the upcoming Unhallowed art show.

The show consists of work by several Unhallowed artists and photographers and will feature work from Unhallowed Necropolis as well as UnMet. Jason will also be hanging some of his own work.

The Heart's Filthy Lesson

Valentine


Not a red rose or a satin heart.

I give you an onion.
It is a moon wrapped in brown paper.
It promises light
like the careful undressing of love.

Here.
It will blind you with tears
like a lover.
It will make your reflection
a wobbling photo of grief.

I am trying to be truthful.

Not a cute card or kissogram.

I give you an onion.
Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips,
possessive and faithful
as we are,
for as long as we are.

Take it.
Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding ring,
if you like.
Lethal.
Its scent will cling to your fingers,
cling to your knife.
