Entry for Clytemnestra Remash Challenge
Poem by : Sara Miller-Hornick
The picador of Dubyaville
lifts his portent lance
The serpent frequently eats its tail
to perpetuate cyclic dance.
Banana oil excuses
spew from bourgeois gates
From the crowd a commoner watches
as government controls the fates
Empty pockets are his flags,
blood his crimson cape.
The question is who will win this round?
Will the bull perish or escape?
(more…)
Clytemnestra, Queen of Tango!
This magician is a messenger from beyond, conjuring death and the cosmos…
