Kate More Poems

There was a small red box
with gold embellishments.
At one time it proudly held my prized possessions.
Some were scribbled on scraps of notebook paper.
...

Brown suit case in the corner:
Where have you been?
Circle around the terminal.
Hide what's within.
...

I had a three feet icicle hanging from my roof
served no purpose but to improve my view
to gauge the temperature as it dripped
to make me smile as I studied it
...

We're all animals dressed for the carnival
At the end of the day we return to our stalls.
Our trainer lives in the decorated trailer.
When you disobey he makes you feel like a failure.
...

She lays on your bed.
We walk in,
and she stares at us with those empty eyes.
We took out
...

The world is over,
and here we are floating in space.
Isolated in these concrete buildings
that are inexplicably suspended in the air.
...
