Newspeak(s)

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Severed


Five severed heads left outside Mexican school

Heads in a burlap sack
Like Medusa’s, streaming with snakes,
Turning men to statue

Only this is no myth
Mexican faces
Seething with maggots
Rotting outside the primary school

Classes canceled
Children turned to stone
