Thanks ditto.
I like the (bluebird) poems that mention taking care of baby Marina.
Sort of goes against the wild man macho mythology.

 

[Rekrab]

That works well, the way he contrasts the chaos of life on the road against the mundane but peaceful domestic life, the baby with the bottle.

 

[Erik]

The People Look Like Flowers At Last - pg. 33

 

[Pogue Mahone]

This is a really strong one. Anyone ever compare it to "The People... version?"

I'll answer my own question: Usual sophomoric edits.

 

[mjp]

The usual layer of adjectives and descriptors. "knocked out his brains" was added after "they hit him with this rock" for flavor and to, you know, take it to the next level of poetry.
