Untitled poem published on a sandstone monolith, 10th Street and Pearl Street, Boulder, CO | est. 2015
driving on the highway [not far from here] the first day since his shiva, she’s alone [unsound] in cobalt with four locked doors. flowers, red & purple that bloom [dying voices call] from the ground drip down from her ears.
