Light Verse

Marvell-Less
by Michael R. Burch

Alas, his crude writings deform us:

I am outside the circle of sex. Just as well. Population control,
the biome's survival instinct. Or I'm old. Look
in mirror, skin over bones. Young girls
on bicycles, running, have that granddaughterly smile for me,
