2025, Ohio River Valley Literature, poetry, the no-scape, Working Class Literature

first pipe, second cup

worn away
this is all

tired leather
a patched sweater

a morning 
we missed the sunrise

a night sky 
erased by city lights

an old dog that can’t quite
bring himself

to shit
and die

the body insists 
itself on the soul

there is fire yet
and the coffee

is done
Standard

Winter Lines: 1

that first scent of snow carried
on a brisk November wind
whispering it wants
to carry me away too

Standard
2025, Ohio River Valley Literature, poetry

the color pallette is not technicolor

this life
a dog’s dream
endless chase
the colors
all rage
and
love
and
magnificent
sleep

Standard
