STEEL
FEEL LIKE MY SOUL HAS TURNED TO STEEL*
2 girls skipped down the street today protesting
our grey pre-winter mortis Looked like they would
careen into sad Canadians 20 somethings blonde
& coated in sheep Now stop to light smokes Giddiness
transformed to hip with the flick of Bics
Today the anniversary of Sandyhook’s slaughter 20 who
will never cavort except in the emptiness of late afternoon
When parents forget then remember then forget to
remember
The shooter also 20 shot his mother in the head 6x with
her own gun He hadn’t left the house in 4 months Since
then there has been the Boston Marathon bombing the Navy
Yard shooting & each day in the U.S. 82 have died of gunshot
wounds
Recently in a Sand-tray session a 20 yr. old man placed a robot
near a breastfeeding Mary Was he hungry? Curious? Murderous?
Like the shooter crouching in the shadows by his mother’s bed
