Steve Calamars- Three Poems

after lorca
 
an inch from
the bottom
and i’m already
rising to new
heights
but the view
induces vertigo
and i’m quickly
plummeting
back to where
the sun sleeps
and the stars
shrivel like
raisins . . .
 
 
i’m throwing money
 
out the
window
 
the crows
pick it
over
 
like stale
moldy bread
 
 
after midnight
 
a mexican girl
with thighs thick
as cough syrup
sleeps in
my bed . . .
 
 
 
short bio: Steve Calamars lives in Texas. His first collection of short stories, six years of relative happiness, is available from Calliope Nerve Media. He blogs @ dirtywordsoncleanliving.blogspot.com. He is currently looking for a publisher for his recently completed chapbook manuscript.
