Collie Poems

born beneath a tangle of stars

cream cry Hamal

blood-warm straw

but all too soon

a frosty breeze chews the nostrils

the farmed proletariat

mass in trucks with fear

spindle limbs hacked, knife hung on a hook

 

dragging her...Read More

as ventriloquist after mortician embalms
these lovely bones, but,...Read More

It was a cool, Spring night.
We lit the fireplace, a cozy sight.

can be created from
stem cells of this doggone

But when I think...Read More

It’s disgusting
