Notes About The Poem

Cauldrons

Thrice about the cauldron go
and answer me, if it be known.

Untie the words and give them form,
dissect the ingredients of murder’s charm.

A new tradition has traction gained,
a tradition of alienated masculine pain.

Where insults demand their due in blood
in schools, in stores, and quiet neighborhoods.
