Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions selected from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.
I also have a book collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.
Silent E featured this past Wednesday. I ended up hosting the event outside due to being locked out f my home. That's why I'm wearing a hat during the Zoom call.
Silent E did a great job mixing God and the election--two things that don't belong together--at the end of her performance. I tried to do the same here.
I'm exhausted from the past few days. It took me so long to get this out. I'm probably going to bed soon.
Thanks for reading.
Slow Burn
bang our heads back to Damascus?
Can full moon stay down awhile?
Shadows are getting hotter. How long
before we travel back to history's side?
Russia killed enough fascists that now
they can reverse engineer their own.
Lovers now have to come and go much
more quietly. Skeletons buried twice over.
Prayers of the stupid stuff God's mailbox.
A hotter earth has been prepared for years.
Too old to learn how to fiddle in inferno.
Get ready to lose everything but ourselves.
Special thanks to Ricard Spisak, Mary Ann Honaker, Mark States, Jan Rowe, Rusty Rose, Bil Lewis, Jon Wesick, Chris Vannoy, Christiana Celli, James Van Looy, Jason Wright and special feature Silent E.
