Grifter's Almanac by Mackenzie Thorn
$6.00
quiet grey mornings
all but whirring window units
singing
lonesome cowboy song
lightning bugs
spread out across the field
bouncing like napalm
gunpowder fog
shifting around
motionless crowds of tress
and dimming gas lamps
just beneath the curtain
of mornings victory
pigeon’s jaunt around my feet
and peck at rocks
and broken glass
from off the ground
I shake my head
such a shame
what terrible
waste of wings
