There Is Blood
My forty-fourth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena
This is my forty-fourth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena, but also inspired by me actually managing to slice open my thumb with my razor this morning. Even I don't know how that happened, maybe too many episodes of "Supernatural", who knows.
I'll go with the villanelle form for this one.
The music I have chosen is "The Cutter (Transformed)" by Echo and the Bunnymen from the album "The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon"
