SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 1-27-21: Dead of Night

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked 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 an award nominated book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it. 

Thank you, Blackbyrd, for featuring this past Wednesday in your effort to raise fund for The Duley Cafe. If you're reading this, please click the previous link and donate to save this important venue for Boston.

My poem is short this week because my fuse is short this week. I'm hopefully(???) taking my second dose of COVID-19 vaccine today. I don't have patience for much, least of all my own writer's block. Loved the open mic and the energy. Have to do it again soon. Thanks for reading.

Dead of Night

Young bombshell who holds

cancer cures in your head,

told to shut up and smile,

Blackbyrd by Chris Robbins

Not only did I miss Blackbyrd at Stone Soup this Wednesday due to my feature, but I also missed the return of Chris Robbins, who hasn't been around in a while. Luckily, he gave me a lot of footage on his Instagram, which included this cool picture of her.
