Turds In Hell

Collection

Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Once upon Old Orleans upbeat Beast of times underbelly exposed Dispossessed kinfolk clinging driftwood shadows Unfathomable depths bewailing plaintive moans

Below see level vampire netherworld Vanquished past riptide demons surface Metamorphic destiny born again transmigration Grim reaper channeling hoodoo-voodoo curses

Haunted houses flooded with reflections Pretentious claptrap spirits locked inside Macabre ghoulish shadows attic cornered Decomposed living dead tatty cobwebs

Loose echoes ricocheting off walls Zip suit tarot fortunes discarded Buoyancy coupling shamelessly with danger Caged blue canaries spooky shut-ins

Embalmed ghosts haunting forsaken psyches Thumping gizzards throbbing grizzly skin In limbo "Bokor" castoff spells Black magic dolls needling consolation
