Whiz/Bang


Whiz/Bang

blindsided
by his one-line rebuke
me
who is
always irrepressibly
cheerful
is now reduced to
a character in conflict
watching him drive away
w/o sufficient explanation
the dust kicking up a cloud
under the threadbare tires of 
his clattering camper van
                        whiz/bang

I know, I know. Another small poem. I couldn’t help myself!

In propinquity,
Nic

In The Wreckage


In the Wreckage

in
the wreckage
 of poetry
heeding music made
too loud
too lurid
sentences me to ruinous
tumult

Been a little obsessed with tiny poems of late. I appreciate their punch, the brevity, and their form. So much fun.

In propinquity,
Nic
