phantom in the machinery by DB Cox -- Part 3 0f 5






3

january
wind cuts
like a chisel
through cemetery
rows of expired
parking meters
tombstone reminders
that time
never sleeps
waiting grave markers
for this graying
prodigal son
stumbling
done-in down
naked streets
still unwilling
to swap
half-worlds
of unfillable space
& gratuitous
suicide
for a valid world
of comfortable
clichés & pipers
playing
sweet songs
of coming home
night-clad nomad
following
feeble streetlights
that mark the way
from failing grace
to an empty room




Part 3 of a 5 part poem






DB Cox is from South Carolina.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!

Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
