Blood Capital
an artful hawker collects souls on a street corner
save me from the day
a clumsy galumphin’ thing comes dancing by
trampling the sitters, upending the babes
a monster on the rampage in white lace
an orchid in a window silences you
some people go hawking war souvenirs
From my 2017 book Synaptic Syntactic available on major platforms such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, and Kobo, as well as direct from my BookBaby store for $4.99: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/synaptic-syntactic
Hey! You’re already reading this on a phone, why not get ALL the poems in one neat package? You don’t need some dumb special device like a Kindle to use an ebook file, dont’cha know?
