A New Poem | “Octavia Blue”
Let’s relax for a moment. A raison d’être will be our token. The city is broken. The few who’ve moved here haven’t spoken. The fugue in Boston will have it lit for March, Springing a dolphin jump over Constantine’s Arch. But they can’t make their decisions in any sort of style. It means we’ll be…
