A Bit Of Light Crimson Poem by Christoph Praus

A Bit Of Light Crimson



A light scarce upon the balcony,
My eyes grow cold and bright,
And even in the hunted night,
That pool of red reigned in my sight,
My soul grew heavy, long and tight,
Following that river's course,
Yet ever onward, worse and worse,
Beetled, silent laying there,
Corpsewyrms dancing in your hair,
Your shining eyes in judgement stare,
At me, and sealed within my grip,
A sharp reflection crimson drips.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I had just finished reading Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's very excellent graphic novel 'From Hell', a mostly fictionalised account of the Jack the Ripper murders. It's just packed with little details and accounts of life in Victorian London, highly recommend it.
