By
Joseph Lisowski
Blood is more than pulse running
from a hidden heart.
Blood is a spectre,
a deep purple clot
that surrounds the body
that slaps hard
against mouth and nose.
A heavy cloth held
by a muscular hand.
Blood is pressure outside,
grief closing in.
We must struggle against this,
our breath which carries this clot.
