Naked and Raw

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD Shadows of leaves against migrants stripped of bark Children hidden against a darkened sky A cup of river foaming at the mouth Suited men and women laced swirl about with noxious airs Walk blindly into an imaginary sun longtime set Sink into the plastic remnants of bottles drank The dew on their skin stings like acid spilt Breathing particles drawn with charcoal pencils lit And I think to myself what a Trumped up World 08/26/2018
