UNDERTOW

by Howie Good

Your hands fall helplessly
to your sides. All the people
you admire are either dead
or secretly sad. You feel
the undertow of everything
that has gone missing.
I should have been there
with you when the little

black flowers broke open.
I should have watched
for children like the sign said.

(Via Riley Dog)

“The only important elements in any society are the artistic and the criminal, because they alone, by questioning the society’s values, can force it to change.”
