Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than hands?<br /> <br /> -Ernest Gaines.


Strings of ghosts
flit 'bout my head
like those lazy
charcoal sparrows
chirping their stories.

The days are short
so I build a coffin
and rest easy knowing
it's always on hand.
