Three Poems by KrisΒ Becker Ignoring the War At the door of my body,at the boundary, where the meal must enterat the properpace and volume,where my facemust stay still,(after the nondescript prayer)at the table in the appropriate chair,the thoughts I am thinking,the words I am thinking, go missing.Everyone talks.I suppose I talk also.Afterwards (after words)

It was a literal hell, but Kris Becker went there anyway, today at Villain Era! πŸ–€πŸ”ͺ
