Poetry Critical 2.0

Hey guys, Donald here.

In a few weeks, this site will be 9 years old. 9 years! And I still know some of the earliest submissions by heart.

But, boy. That’s like 102 in web-years. So it’s time for something new. I’m building that something now with my nights-and-weekend minutes (and plenty of coffee). Buy me a cup?

Mary says slow down

intoxication of the blood	1
with dirty sky filling my mouth	2
sexing my imaginary neighbor	3

skin inviting me	5
sweaty, salty and messy	6
then up and back down	7
for the end of a meeting	8
with his e y e s greeting mine	9
for a second to eternity	10
