A poem submission by T.L. Kirk

I pull warm words out from my pocket and
Splatter them on yellowing leaflet pages
A literary Jackson Pollock
I stand over my canvas,
Let the brush dance and
Fill the floor with a series of pirouettes and pliés
Won’t the crowd love me?
Litter my feet with round, red roses
But please,
Remove the thorns
