As a kid I was told it was only an imaginary friend. That every kid has one. It was nothing but just a figment of an imagination. Nothing else. How could they not see my little friend? My friend was always by my side. Everywhere I did go.

The Ghost’s Town

Reverend, I did not confess
So, I lay in uneasy rest
Until duty called
in Miracle

Bloody are the streets that I stalk,
In the burnt trees, red-eyed crows flock
Bloodier still is
Soiled Miracle

Every citizen, full of sin
My knife doesn't know where to begin
Carving the cancer
of Miracle

Eager blade sings with every slice
Every reaped life fulfills my price
Silence settles on
Doomed Miracle

A link to two dark freshly published poems by a poet who is not myself, but I wanted to share. I admire this editor for publishing material that may not find a home in many places but that holds forth on an element of the human struggle. (If you go to the link, read the poet's bio.💜) I have struggled to find journals that will take my darker pieces. One landed in The Chamber Magazine, link below. 💜 #darkfiction #darkpoem #poetry #fiction
