CHAPBOOKS
Dear Mutant, by Ruth Wartman $5 ppd. |
from Dear Mutant, by Ruth Wartman Dear Caregiver, I am holding the keys. You are quiet Surrounded by uninvited Choking Plain sense to distance. But then, our grins. I would tell you every day: Enjoy the feel of sweat Own your own juices Do something other than sit in the bay In the bay in the bay stoically beaten Out of your suit. Despite the shape of futility, We’re buzz chasers Our paintings mocking and thirsty. There is only the shore And the sound of waves Leaving waving leaves. |
