"Runner-up of the Open Community Poetry Contest for the period January 1-March 31, 2012."

Deep the tines pierce plunged and tramped beneath boots thick caked.

Backwards the staff pushes and falls lifted and levering matted quitch grass twitch and taprooted taxaxacum rhizomes twisted wrapping steel in knots

Missing piece,

Link into me,

Let me be not missing.

Not so blind.

Clean.

Falling into freedom...

Filling in the void...

Stop.

Poets come complaining of a poem lacking flow.

Even when it drips. Heavily. Steadily so.

Hungrily readily these interns crow

Ignoring the soft tissue.

Whilst other patients die from misuse.

To the loud vulgar words that spew today.

I am what I am.
