Evenash

Poetry by Becky Bye

Unfurling shadows like poisonous darts

Blacken her soul and target her heart.

A warrior’s blood runs through her veins.

Beneath thunderstruck skies, Ancestral powers wane.

Spectral phantoms scream battle cries

Spilled blood rusts as snaps family ties.

The call of her wild burns strong and bright. Choreographed in shadow for the ultimate fight. 

Dying ambers of fire claw at her throat

Talons of mirth attempting to choke. 

Like the Phoenix from ash; again she shall rise, with the passing of time and turning of tides.
