Octomeber Day 7 - Word List 2

 We've reached the end of the first week! Hope you have been getting something out of the prompts and that you've enjoyed what I've written! Today we are going to do a second word list. Just like before, write in any form but include the following words: blade, lamb, stump, veil, harvest, bones.

Sacrifice

Your hands; cold, callused - 
veil of risk wrapped delicately 
around my throat. Hold me like 
I'm dangerous; a blade to wield 
in this secret night we keep 
for ourselves - greedy little fingers 
trace my skin... my lips... 
across collar and down 
the length of these arms.

Take the bones of this body 
and remake it into something 
loveable; a willing lamb to 
your butcher's block - sitting here,
hands at your hips, unzipping. 
"No one's going to know"
Ragged stump of old Oak; this 
moment's altar... another memory 
labelled 'the rituals of us'.
