Laurie Christenson Poems

Gum was sticking to his belly
and a comb was lighted with jelly.
the floor was filled with mildew and honey
he flopped onto an almond roasted bunny
...

I feel I've been eaten by a thousand instant worms
wailing in the sounds of written horrors
flickering in a hollow gait, it starts to snow around
my shoulders.
...

A flower began to bloom
and the town gathered in a swoon.
A young rock sank to the top of a well
and the town let out a cranky yell.
...
