Ride, Trip, Life – January Ekphrastic Challenge, January 10

January 10, 2021 / The Wombwell Rainbow

The world according to RedCat

Marcel Herms – Heel het leven is een storm en een chaos der ziel

This ride will turn you round
Spin you round and round
Twist this way and that way
Confuse up and down until you sway
Like a reed in wind
As branches twinned in whirlwind
Stormy chaos reign
Soul drains as hot tears rain
The trip will demand red blood shed
Til the scythe severs your thread
©RedCat
