Contributor Series 7: The Confessional Diary of Bone
Ashen Bones
By James G Piatt

Ashen bones in red sand … War … Lonely deaths
Acres of bodies … One second of truth … Ten decades of lies
Dead petunias … Rusted VW vans … No more hippies
Crushed lemons … Rotten plums … Decaying lives
Black and hurt … White and jobless … Universal darkness 
Tea Party complainers … Fear … Bloody hypocrites


Sad Dreams was the most recent poem by James G Piatt to appear at vox poetica.
