Untitled Poem, drug mention (junk), implicit violence, may contain traces of Tallulah Bankhead [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Heroin and sweltering summer days both have a sweet tooth,
Like old junkies with voices that taste of burnt sugar,
Their songs flyblown and ragged, faded to sepia and blue beneath years of beating sun and blazing golden light.

When the rain comes, it hammers down hard enough to rip through cheap paper and fragile skin.
Shreds of posters flap like drowned ghosts, the final encore of a spectacle long past its time.

Treading carefully in the tracks left by their passage,
We must remain circumspect, even under torture,
Interrogated at the point of a stainless steel blade.

Compelled, commanded and bound within the circle,
A vision of veiled discretion in the place of deranged and washed out glamour;
Gallery girls and bacchae bearing un|told narratives of doomed futures, un|wound in plain sight.

      The Best Poem Ever
      by Brian Doyle

      What if, says a small child to me this afternoon,
      We made a poem without using any words at all?

          accretes, fed by excess,
          like Climate bakes out Life, serving

                    That's just "bad weather".
                    Won't be "changed climate" for years.

                        I had a nice exchange with @Aphelion yesterevening. I like her sparse, short-form poetry…poems that cut to the bone in few words. In appreciation:

                        /

                        Her pencil
                        chisels away
                        unneeded words
                        Words like:
                        Loquaciousness; Prolixity
                        pile at her feet

                        When her lathe-turning
                        is done,
                        what remains is
                        a spindle
                        unadorned
                        And truth

                              Sometimes excellent poetry appears in the most unlikely of places, something we all should help happen more often. Kristen Darling today posted a lovely and insightful piece on LinkedIn. It begins:

                              «How to Have the Life You Want

                              One day, I hope to stop interrogating my peace.
                              I will stop demanding peace turn out its pockets
                              and to keep its hands where I can see them.
                              I will stop inserting anxiety
                              where I spent a few moments …»
