New Poem, Black Scar, at Vox Publica

Hi Friends,

I have a new poem entitled Black Scar that is up at Vox Publica. You can see it on their site here, or read down below.

Until soon,

BLACK SCAR

Scar black scar

the artist’s long

black scar

symbol

in the earth

of the rip

in the body human

payment

in flesh all wars

are economic

the cost

charged the poor

black

the blood of Danny

long since

blackened

dried and caked

oh Danny boy

who is no more

he whom I loved

and he whom they loved

the Ebert’s older son

remember him

he played a drum

the paper boy on Linden
