“child this way”

Vandal Poem of the Day: September 11, 2019

by Robert Fernandez

 

child this way

I wake and believe

I am abandoning forever

 

young marksman, I forget chilled pasta

by Ida Applebroog

 

I forget the cobras

in a blanket

 

I forget

 

the red roe

of ekstasis

 

I forget the unholy

mouths of the iguanas
