https://t.co/Ju9zZRggwa "Four Gone" was the final post for DMC co-editor @Chillbear in the Choir. And since he's the one posting this, he'd like to thank Todd Gleason and @amie_zimmerman for allowing him to post pretty much anything he wants. Hell of a ride, friends.

https://t.co/OpkBwoq36G "A Late Harvest" – Sarah Myles Spencer (@platanosnlatkes) is her contribution to our farewell issue: blood & burns & words. The title of our first issue "If You Are Hungry Enough" came from Sarah's #poem Gorge, so it's fitting that she's back for our last.

https://t.co/NrniQE2jle "The Feminist Cleans Her Boyfriend's House" by @sshalmiyev This gritty, impactful #poem found its way into our final issue, "blood & burns & words," and into our hearts. We'd like to thank the very talented Sophia Shalmiyev for being a part of our goodbye.

https://t.co/OAUHsqwFH8 "Epithalamion" by @germyradin It's impossible to say too much about Jeremy's contribution to the Choir, unless of course, it's Twitter. This elegant poem will sadly be his final contribution to DMC. We are grateful to post it in "blood & burns & words."

https://t.co/pYGQh83g16 "Real Facts for Real Life (for Curt) Hawkins) by Stephen Meads This is a unique poem for the Choir, especially for blood & burns & words. It deals with #warriorism #combat #WWE and loss. We think it's brilliant and we couldn't be more grateful for it.

[MidnightChoir @DMCBlob]

@HellaPoetry Agreed.

https://t.co/3mwVjmsa6F "what to feel when one of your bullies dies suddenly" by Allie Marini. We owe so much to Allie, not just for this impactful, cut-to-the-bone #poetry, but because this piece gave us the title to our farewell issue blood & burns & words. Thank you for both.

https://t.co/qWDCozNG3e "Crazy Mountain" by @tmancus. Tony Mancus returns to the Choir for our farewell issue: blood & burns & words with this amazing, weighty #poem. Thanks for being a part of this Tony. We really loved this #poetry. You're part of what we're going to miss.

https://t.co/fYZNFvKlVL by @AllyMalinenko. blood & burns & words would have been incomplete without a piece by Ally Malinenko, longtime DMC contributor. "There is Nothing Stronger Than a Broken Woman Who Has Rebuilt Herself" is quite simply, a brilliant #poem. Thank you, Ally.

https://t.co/xv41O77VP9 by @jessicahelen505 "Breaking Up with Bukowski" is Jessica Helen Lopez's contribution to our farewell issue: blood & burns & words. We appreciate this piece to no end and her helping us out as we all say goodbye. #poetry #poet #Bukowski #charlesbukowski
