Poetry of Issue 9: Their Bodies

INFORMATION

Their bodies will become a feast for crocodiles, and only then the subject for a poem. Each time the sun returns a different victim’s body is discovered. The poems created in this way will be brittle and terse, and filled with no more imagination than the reader brings to them. Weakness of the heart never becomes a factor, nor does the shortness of breath the poem is likely to elicit.
