Verbals by Linda Stevenson

Verbals

Oh come on now you can do
better than that,
find cuter disparagements, that
pulped spot under my ribs
for tilting the silver, turning;
some insults are so pallid, I’ve
heard more grievous from cockatoo,
agony cry screeching
tree to tree, anger and carbon,
burnt bush in the summer,
dead death its very self.
