Maggie Devers

In cold blood

Bones ache
Seraphim choke
On their holy words
Songs frozen
In mute frequency
Electric hums quiet
Lights flicker out
Fire dims
Collapsed, a final sigh
Nothing moves
In cold blood

Submissions are open. If you have a poem you want me to read on the podcast, now’s the time.

I’m looking for the one that lights you up. The one you’re proud of. The one you can’t read without crying. The one that makes you feel something big.

Let’s make space for the one this Fall on One Poem Only.

Deadline is Thursday, July 31.
