"Poetry I have lived my life - where the highway goes divided - A child's imagination looks like the devil incarnate - The angry buzz - Trembling hands - Sit in the middle of this chaos - The reeds are a forest, though they are but three rows - on half-constructed roads, wet with already-drying rain - wherein she utters strange, guttural incantations, hoping to gut him like all the others - with heads held down in depression - just outside of awareness - where there was recently emptiness, a dread in the air - which holds yet another doomed, idle spawn inside its tangles - In an act of involuntary penance, the new models ooze blood on their way to the slaughterhouse - There’s foil confetti everywhere - Setting the past on fire - the juke box dormant - but a few broken doll parts morph into tiny voodoo dolls and start a spell - A blue basketball rolls briskly in front of my car, and two boys scream - The ghost ship leaves a trail to my door..."

"This model child's head needs a horn
to turn it into a bloody unicorn."

in the poem "A Calliope Filled With Model Organs"

 

NEW! Short Poems of Violence and Chickens! NEW from Blood Pudding Press, end of October 2022!

"They get hooked and are craving
the style of a carousel horse.
A beautiful ride filled with a lovely lineup
of colorful animals that were never alive.
Prettier than real life.

This broken pony ride
is a circle of girls who used to be
alive, might still be sort of.

Their bodies are mostly set pieces.
Their bodies are mostly props."

some lines from the poem "Model Pony Rides", in the NEW Blood Pudding Press poetry chapbook "Short Poems of Violence and Chickens" by Juliet Cook and Darryl Shupe
