INKTOBER 2018: Angular, Day 16

Art and Poem by Miguel Guerreiro Lourenço

For Inktober's Angular prompt I went with a D&D inspired piece. A d20 whittled from bone, followed by a poem about late self-preservation. every letter of the first word eventually spells Angular. Inspired by Robert MacFarlane in "The Lost Words". Below is the transcription:

a sharp blade,

n urtured by pain and

g rief, now nestled

u nder my jaw.

l istening and feeling my

a nxious pulse--it

r eassures you:

I still want to live.
