Carve words into flesh,

fresh and immemorial,

blood flows as penance.

Powerful with sharp imagery. Not something I would practice. Your title took me to the film Atonement which was an excellent film. Good morning John.

I was thinking more 'Silence' than 'Atonement' although I love Ian McEwan's writings. Many thanks Chris.

An excellent author John. Hope you are gearing up to a hot Bank Holiday.
