NaPoWriMo 2025 Day 17: Suddenly Innocent

Posted on April 17, 2025 By Basil Cartryte

Suddenly Innocent

magnetic rigor enchants
murderous beliefs
circling around us
the unitary executive
in the dark
suburban woods
contemplating
the thunder’s daughter
sympathetically
commanded to rub wounds
into our communal salt
iron documents
laid out in rows
on kitchen tables
where one is sitting where nine are
circling within
the worst of our wants
the clematis is
just beginning
not to mind
a dead mouse’s virtue
flies
egos of falcons
gather
a virtual cricket
sings
