Untitled — A Poem by Dustin Pickering
Dustin Pickering presents a short poem whose "general spirit"—as the poet suggests—"can resonate across different subjects." One of these, in the least, is the irremediable misery of those who do wrong to others.
the empty laughter,
cold and fallen,
of a psychopath
whose room is brimmed
with hell
a flame stands tall
to encapsulate the misery
