Sentimentality

Never finished answering to the dead
Prompt from Have You Prayed? Li-Young Lee

Sit up straight
Get your elbows off the table
Good manners don't cost
Less haste, more speed
What’s the magic word?

Chastise Justice

wild eyed mother stares through glazing thoughts.
paying no attention to her child of war.
bastard father maker stands shunning light.
children fight back lakes of tears with new found might.
insult self redemption with your chosen hate.
