one good burn at a time
from the four corners of the world
the effigy business is alive & well
tonight’s moon will be copper in color
complementing the fiery flames
dancing up the stake
the cancel club is hard at work
recruiting new members &
identifying new targets like a child
flipping through a toy catalog
behind the scenes
in garages & basements & inside
the minds of newly born royalty
the likenesses are growing in number
misaligned & lighting up the night sky
april two thousand twenty-two
