Smallpox Blankets

infected politics
lacking political immunity
no tolerance disease

film exposes
vile campaign
decimating carrier

contaminated serum
well-founded distrust
wipe-out cinema

arm scratched
with something out of a bottle
genocide of dirty politics

distribution hollywood trade
buffalo hides set the stage
cover up politics with smallpox blankets

film tent set up on a hill
croaking of the raven
howling of the wolf

eaten by maggots
infected politics
deadly outbreak

cold water plunge
governor hears
malicious extortion

spreading smallpox through the council
film screen preferring
death to surrender


Copyright Ms. Sage Sweetwater, firebrand lesbian novelist

I know there are smarter readers than I out there. But to see this area blank is a farce. Vaccines are plenty, all for the profit of the drug companies. As always Sage your writing is flawless but to my dismay beyond me.

Zara's Bois by Gracie McKeever

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson
