Glass and Ash
A Rash of Trash
Big Rock
Busted Solo Cup
Buried By
Our Drained Swamp
Buried By
Our Drained Swamp
A Top the Hill
A ‘V’ Tree
Victory
We’re Walking
A Tuft of Joy
Like
The
Buried Steel
Kitchen Knife Thrown Asunder
Post Murder
Post Bad Dinner
Post Life
In the Beerfest BeeHive
In the Beerfest BeeHive
There’s a Crayon Portrait
On a Stolen Square
Office Export
‘A
Police Squad Car Speeding
In Blue and Red
on a White Background’
The Ink Has Bled but the
Image is Still Clear
Imprinted.
People walk by it
On top of it
Yet
Gno one will throw it
away
away
or put it
on display
on display
To My Dismay
The children
SCREAM
With their little lungs
Like bunnies racing to live
Their Eyes Are Open
Amongst a Rash of Trash
Cigarette Butts Litter on the
Red and Blue Police Car HeArt
In the Beerfest BeeHive
Below Us
The Ants Whisper
Among Them
The Secret to Win
Keep Walking

The rhythm of this poem made me reread it in a loop a few times. I enjoyed your use of assonance, consonance, and alliteration throughout the piece. Well done.
Thank you so much
