Vandal Poem of the Day: February 25, 2020

 by Ann Kim

Over sea-wet rocks, an octopus climbs up
to hunt. For a few seconds it dares our burning
blue world, and we can watch! Multi-armed
as islands, it undulates over barnacles
and slides back down to the wash.

For you we play a conceptual flute.

Vandal Poem of the Day: January 27, 2020

 by Ann Kim

Eating noodles
in the rain.

Radio on,
an earthquake

somewhere,
but not here.

Dead fly, crisp
on the windowsill,

add to
the food?
