Still in a poetic mood

If you're interested, you might want to check out the poems by Fred Allen in Communique Journal.

I'm particularly fond of this:


Undone

shatter me, God,
fracture mind's stale, provincial
orders,
stagger soul's calibrated vanity,
bruise heart's numb meat,
snap bones

no,
break me like the dawn breaks
dark's vacancies:

so gently
the night is glad to die
