Blog Share: Weight Lifting — Shall We Get Dressed Now? [Disability & Chronic Pain]

Peregrine Arc: An Author's Scratchwork

No, I have not taken up a new hobby. Nor have I had a sudden healing. I didn’t leap out of my chair yesterday and grab a dumbbell. This is about a different kind of weight. Oh, you’ve all fallen asleep or stopped reading. Come back! It is worth reading. Ever been flattened by life? […]

Weight Lifting — Shall We Get Dressed Now?

Wolf Ear: A Free Write (Poetry)

Peregrine Arc: An Author's Scratchwork

Wolf Ear

We have the wolf by the ear and we mean to keep it.
It is not our error, it’s theirs–we see clearly in our broken mirror.
They who so callously rejoice to higher concepts than they think we possess
We who hold all the answers with our rod and staff, we ignite the stars and drown them!

We are like two weights in the sea circling each other
The more we battle, the further we spiral down,
to depths even scholars cannot fathom.
The seagulls cry out above us
the waves bring up our blood
but we will never turn back, we will never surrender.

We will keep this wolf, this slavery
You will bow down and remain in line.
If hatred we be–hatred we are
Power, control, money, prestige–
you know nothing if we control your being.

You will honor and worship us.
We will strike out at the lone voice who calls out in the night.

A quick, free write from the perspective of evil. Religious symbolism, hypocrisy, and allusions to history tied together with modern day events and evils.

I recently created a page on my website to showcase other authors I follow. Please do check out their blogs and give them a follow. Cheers.
