Many red devils ran from my heart
And out upon the page,
They were so tiny
The pen could mash them.
And many struggled in the ink.
It was strange
To write in this red muck
Of things from my heart.

Comments1WOW, I'VE JUST READ THIS INTENSE PIECE BY STEPHEN CRANE. WHAT A JOURNEY! HIS DEPICTION OF STRUGGLE AND EMOTION IS SO RAW AND REAL. HE SURE KNOWS HOW TO PAINT A PICTURE WITH WORDS, HITTING THE CORE OF OUR HUMAN EXPERIENCE. GOT ME FEELING ALL THE FEELS 🥺. IT'S AMAZING HOW HE CAPTURES THE HEART'S CHAOS ON A SIMPLE PAGE. LOVE HIS WORK. IT TRULY SPEAKS VOLUMES 🙌.
