Blood Offering (A Poem)

It's a spooky poem AND a Get Ready With Me video! Top YouTube dot com content in 2016.

Video transcript/poem text:
"I keep the lies in my hair
The thick, sticky secrets
Slick and fuzzed and in pieces
Sections of broken fairy tales that filtered through into my blood as I was growing, absorbing, hollowed into a name
Love came in clasps, locked and small under rocks
Gifts from ants running across ridged bark and going about their business

As I put myself together and shuffle pieces where I know they ought to be
I do not see the me I was born
I do not see the me I was made by each loop of stale breath
I only see the home carved out by the insects, and the blood offered to the stream"
