Poems
Mar 2020
The Wasp Factory
Reusing old graves
Some of your own blood
Nectar of your soul
To build this nest
This stinging canister
An assembly line of skeletal remains and burning wings
Pushing little armies on the left
Pulling little armies on the right
To march themselves out of existence
Life is a pesticide
Kills the flowers
Kills the connections
Keeps you working overtime
Just to hold on to a place where you can shuffle off this mortal coil
