MÖRKTOBER: 20 – Ash

I’m going to try daily to write something for Morktober. Often these will probably be poems, so come stop by daily to see what I’m up to. All prompts are based off Exeunt Press.

All art by Tony Tran, who also illustrated Horus & Motherfucker! Check out his patreon for more artwork.

Ash

Ash and blood and mud and spit
See it rise with claws to slit
You from hole to gaping throat
Covered in blood its ashen coat

Stomp your fires hard and certain
Elsewise they rise without pardon
To unburden us of our flesh
Spill our precious blood so fresh

Blood and mud and spit and ash
Watch them rise and roar and slash
Creeping beasts with hearts aflame
Don’t you ever speak their name

Ashen gremlins burning bright
May you never sleep at night
For all the wreckage that you cost
And all the children ever lost
