Golden Dragon Massacre

Hell: a white bowl
in shards, soup

drips to the floor.
Sun through the door.

Brown linoleum,
puddled blood.

A wisp of smoke
from a spent brass shell.

Wooden Man

Skeletal, twelve twigs
tied, strings
wrapped at the joints.

A wooden man
hangs from a tree
mottled brown

Against dark northern greenery.
He swings, catching the wind
again and again and again.
