J.J. Campbell- Two Poems


apocalypse of the little dragon

insomnia is great
until the creativity
runs out

then it's up to
cable tv to keep
me occupied

and before too
long all these
kung fu movies
start to look and
sound the same

a few more
hours and i'll
be convinced

that someone is
being sent up the
river to come kill
me

a warm serenity

there's a warm
serenity in your
embrace

hard to imagine
that i can still
remember it

all these nights
i wanted to dig
you up and hold
you one final
time

i suppose i would
have a hard time
explaining that
one to the cops

any creep with
a shovel in a
cemetery is up
to no good in
their eyes

explain away
