"Shawabti"
creature of blood-
beguiling through
torrents of ink
falcon within a cage
for you to turn from
and know where I am
but never who-
souless shawabti
hidden in the place
that would be my tomb,
roll away the stone
from your heart...
have faith-
even if you lose,
allow me to choose
into which prison I fly

 reports, 1d 5h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
