Hunt (1936- )

Vandal Poem of the Day: July 6, 2021

 by Kamilah Aisha  Moon

Already well-fed,
they sniff other quarry
to pass the days,
roaming & tracking fear
in fine leather shoes, sneakers,
combat boots.

Back then & now, bloodhounds
walk their dogs,
sic terror at too many turns—

Double-breasted, t-shirted,
uniformed beasts
always on the prowl.
