Description
body div#devskin0 hr { }
I find myself five months deep
in a wild wood. I make sacrifice with
my teeth, ripping skin, draining blood
leaving corpses upside down
on boughs
as I come upon them. how have they
traveled this far without fighting?
it grows darker and I meaner.
March unfolds April unfolds May,
the light lingers longer but does not
penetrate, and I materialize a
twisted formation,
white as heartwood,
sticky and moaning.

eerie morbid dark,
the alliteration on light made me smile.
I like how you used it to further the darkness,
even with the description of heartwood,
which is usually darker than the sapwood.
All alluding to being lost in a Forest
How apt.
