Suddenly Last Summer

 


Sticks & Stoned (Brian), Phoenicia, New York, 2010

 

each day we would carve each day like a piece of vulture

as a trail of days like an overlay brunette sculpture

until suddenly last summer is that penned

using people and maybe that’s not contend

not being able to use people to borrow

suddenly peaceful after all that taboo tomorrow

those nightmares just to be able to tame

their eyes to a sky not black with savage shame
