After Your Colony Collapses

Vol. 7, No. 3
poetry, ghazal
Auguries interpreted incorrectly caused a fever.
Dry heat leathers skin, embeds bread in bones that know there's more.
Gift the thunderegg, teethe on junipers, drive to the white dove.
One one-thousand, two…, lightning and strike unwed—wait there's more.
