autumn revenant
 

By
 

​Thomas Zimmerman
 
 
 
no matter how i carve
the jack o lantern
cracks your smile
 
 
 
 
legendary


​drunken poet drowns
embracing harvest moon
reflected in the river




goth wedding


hazy blood moon
your opioid 
dissolving in dark rum

the heady chalice cracks
you are hers
mere thing hereafter
