Spoken Word Section:

The empty hand of innocence
transfusing street the sorrows
and children of the word,
hounded,
shredding all veils of wine, demolish sheets of the dead world drone
overturning the tables laden with silver sacrificial birds
beating goat-skin drums
advancing with hands outstretched
and we keep filling them with
mercury
nitrate
asbestos
baby balms blasting blue
scavengers picking through the ashes
children of the mills,
children of the junkyards
sleepy, illiterate, fuzzy little rats
huffing paint, sniffing, stoned out of their shaved heads
forgotten, foraging, mystical children
foul-mouthed, glassy-eyed,
hallucinating

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
