5 poems from my haiCU series (haiku Cut-Up series)
no remorse no joke
mixed reactions die
American bombing love
no remorse no joke
newly mopped bar wax
chemicaled beer swag
putting dance moves on carnage
newly mopped bar wax
bangtail bubblegum
arrested archives
faux intelligentsia
bangtail bubblegum
happy lips gob smacked
in the frozen weeds
surgical chocolate drinks
happy lips gob smacked
homeless city bones
nighttime is brutal
haunted by what could have been –
homeless city bones
