2 new pieces at Subtle Tea,
but I think the 2nd one is chopped off
on the web site
Should read like:
ash
wilderness
this
little girl with wings
or this
middle-aged man with
the
bones of his wife locked in the
trunk
of a shiny new car
these
myths that are actually truths
the way
pollock died so desperately
the way
lee fell to the floor
screamed
and
what is history but a
list of
names written
backwards
in the book of wasted days?
what
are words but a
more
hopeless form of violence?
listen
i was
never this frightened before
my
children were born
was
never filled with so much useless anger
and i
keep coming back to this
eleven
year-old girl who
disappears
from her home
thirty
miles east of here
i keep
coming back to her killer
how he
never told where her body was
how he
laughed on
the day
he was executed
not
like anything was funny
but
like he'd won
like it
had cost him
nothing at all
