“Blue Violets Bloom” is a mysterious text assembled in 2025 as a snapshot in the “A Shattered Cup of Doom” novella. Very Gothic in tone, there exists within its layering an image of budding romance, an origin story of fate unfolding on a not-so-ironic foundation of doom. “Blue Violets Bloom” appears as part of the “First Shards of Broken Glass” chapbook collection.
“BLUE VIOLETS BLOOM”
in the throes of torment,
of blood and toil and of strife,
the wonder that is life breeds death
and the rancid stink of death feeds life.
in a room of darkness
in a world of doom,
knee deep in the dead, they dance
where one day yet blue violets bloom
and nothing there is true,
and yet everything is, somehow, too,
ghouls that languish on, forsaken
too young to die, thy flesh consumed.
in a room of darkness
in a world of doom,
their fate awaits them where, by chance
where one day yet blue violets bloom
