Chase the wild Goose

 

Boston poet and past Stone Soup feature Kevin Gallagher brings his work to this week's Lyrical Somerville. Read it now at The Somerville Times. 

Women in Windows

 

Kevin Gallagher was last week's featured poet at The Arts Fuse. I'm posting it today while waiting for this week's entry to go up.

SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 10-6-21: Mad Monks

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.

 

Kevin Gallagher hit it out of the park on Wednesday. It was short open mic. Especially with Jan Rowe and James Van Looy being unexpectedly away. It was the perfect intimate setting to introduce my cousin's daughter. This Wednesday marked the first time any of my family had ever attended a Stone Soup reading. That was exciting. She'll be back, and I hope more new people will be joining us too.

The finch reference at the open mic's end (thanks, Amada) and the takes on religion and science in Kevin's selections from his forthcoming book fed this week's poem of nonsense. For the first time in forever, I put the title in body of the poem. That's something I often loathe when other poets do it, but it seemed like the right thing to do for once. It was fun writing this at any rate despite the deadline. Thanks for reading.

 

Mad Monks

Their idle heads sit

alone in their kitchens,

waiting for breadcrumbs

to rise from dead.
