Smoke Signals

Vandal Poem of the Day: February 1, 2019

by Montreux Rotholtz

Visiting ear on top, peril

watered down, of whitened form,

milieu vinegared,

shared while the lipsnatch hovers,

the promised spit of heaven.

Sugared be the beet, the red ant,

the spiked border,

and intimate the oscillating

thumped hip, feigned,

the smoke learning.
