Purgatories Purse Strings*

Posted on April 21, 2011 | 2 Comments

House

Casings hallowed by the fire, zip through the clip

Scorching little forearm hairs as they skipped and flipped

Sending souls to purgatory whipped and stripped

No marker or stone left, just an open scrip

    Did you really write this in ’75? I love the assonance in this one.
