Post image What stale musk erodes the perfume of jasmine as Mroz sits facing an alley constipated with bulging dumpsters impatiently staring at the orange paper cut of sunset.
In writhing obligate anxiety and flirting with insensibility, he descends between the tagged walls, craving adulteration.
A fractured, ersatz. Eames chair spills negentropy
Brothers pick through the piles looking for scrap. Bottoms in the recycling. Macnads in the grease traps. Bromius looks for glory holes or rat nests.
Mroz smells Erl, famished, libidinous shadow,
borning the gutter for stray sapphires and tracking scavenging
Mroz abandons the narrow canals of detritus
distancing himself from fruitful gleaners.
Er follows him into the empty avenue as two bunnies
chase each other underneath abandoned cars.
Pausing, Mroz whispers, " Hungry ghost, must I sing
you vespers as I light incense of pubic hair and green carnations.'

it’s 8:20pm. Cops have blocked off the street- lights but no sirens. A congregation slowly walks past holding candles singing lowly. every so often someone prays through a loud speaker. Andrew is in the garden planting things holding a flashlight.

I’ve placed a favorite story at 2 journals. Both folded a couple of months after the acceptance. Maybe the story is so loved it’s cursed.
