| black books by Suzanne Coley (part of 365 series) |
for black times
egg shell nightmares
a somber sun hides behind
glass and steel monsters
ready to aim potent weapons
cable blues for artists
waiting for the fix
begging for paper not
worthy of monopoly
black books for black times
cursive zinc white words
psychotic stripes swell
broken spines
red welts
bandaged oozing passions
leaving masters in pieces
black books for black times
earth is square king on each
corner gulping electrical wines
brewed with Aeschylus's reed
emperors push bull through
snow Elpis forgot to melt
Benjamin dreams smuggled in crystal
snow cones, favors at private parties
welcome to the city of green apples
take a bite
up the pressure, the party goes on
till the break of blue. . .
