like / the ones / who / walked / before
If I cannot tell you everything does that make what’s left myth?
Some of us are graves of our own occasion and carry that / to the end
It reminds how first life is not enough, then too much.
John Wayne is watching / from his lacquered saw blade on the wall
Look at what happens / when you want to feed your family.
Madness / was madness, that’s all.
That’s what’s become of her land of exiles
Winds cheat to pull heat from smoke
Poems by the 2018 Joan Swift Prize Winner and Finalists
