SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 3-30-22: Gone Daddy

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 a book collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

R Chrisler Fairhurst had a great feature on Wednesday. Even better, it played off the open mic, which dictated the both the themes of the night and the themes of this poem. Listen to the whole event if you don't believe me. It was so good that this poem makes for a poor representation of it. I did my best to honor what was being said. 

So much to do for National Poetry Month. I need to get back to work. Thanks for reading.

Gone Daddy

Turn from dad's face

in mirror, utter another

horrific goodbye.

Walking oligarch wants

democratic servants

back under one roof.
