Prose vs Poetry
An autobiography in prose and poetry
by Catherine Jarvis aka invisible ink
This is not a peaceful, easy read
A bedtime story soft and mild
It rends the breast and makes it bleed
Brings savagery out of a child.
Who is this woman, you may ask.
This changeling growing up unseen
She drank out of a drugg'd flask
Who, from breast of poison, weaned.
The paper ochre, the ink blood red
It vanishes in the brown and yellow
A bloodbath which is blank instead
It could nev'r be mild or mellow.
Growing wild, Wednesday's child
Her veins flow arsenic and lace
Web of tattoos artwork styled
Growing weirdly on her face
Now she has small wings of gold
Rusted silver, which is odd
Jesus' blood now courses bold
Purified by our Great God
Invisible ink
aka Catherine Jarvis
I'm starting a book. I plan to finish this one!
