Honor Seay

Let us not blink,
For I want this moment.
Blue eyes staring into mine,
Tears choking back every word.
...

Suede, cotton, and nylon condemn me to my beliefs;
Ignorance and masculinity condemn you to yours.
The word ‘wolf’ won’t stop sounding,
Bullets are not the only threat.
...

A place that is placelessness,
Being crossed by a temporary road.
Watch the master change his work upon the canvas;
Every stroke will endure what no longer exists.
...

I watched a little blackbird perch upon my window sill.
A sign had come at last,
The ice was to come once more.
Winds of fury,
...

Clotho gave hope,
Lachesis grew weary,
Atropos sealed the unspoken deal.
Three fates took their choosing,
...
