I tend to the plumes Of coffee pots To the high noon cries Of scalded kettles Days fall away Like tainted prose Consigned to waste Depleted and hollow Like half-hearted sonnets In a journal’s fold Languishing through the years Unlovable and obscene All I have Are rail-thin fables Feeble offerings To the massive void To…
