NOT A PRESS

Little Sunny

an invocation in blue

By Anita Cadena Sánchez

blood that’s ink 
drips blue
anoints the one
who dares
                                                               set aside the questioning mind
                                                               breath in, breath out again and again
blood that’s ink
slides between the lines
slips off the page

blood that’s ink
pools truth
on the rotting floor
                                                               though the questioning mind
                                                               wonders if truth exists anymore
still the mind
let the blood that’s ink 
flow its unimpeded course
