Excerpt
Heroes
A crisis gave birth to us:
Moss ‘neath a jigsaw
Flourishing between pieces…
To get good sleep
Walk all night,
Every block a whiskey shot,
Needles’ sluice finding the vein…
Heroines then, working the strip
For some pool hall redemption,
The wilderness ethereal,
A banshee’s.
It’s not such a drag.
Moths flit up from manicured lawns,
Skirt beer bottles, used rubbers,
& our tigress faces still excited
With some small hope,
