Two poems by Michael Mc Aloran

Remnants-

As the blade cleaves so does

The sun reveal its

Oblivion


Black blood


Oracle hence unto never

The remnants the torn sky beyond

====================

Mirror-

Thunderous

Beneath the surface of a still lake

A droplet of blood falls upon

The mirror

Crying out to the dead god in us
