The Nameless Dead and Other Poems
By Richard LeDue The Nameless Dead Adam and Eve's infinite cousins (endlessly removed), and they eat apples too or don't, but few believe the worms lost for turning an apple tree into a wrong turn, probably because the ground tastes like Sunday school lessons in a church basement, or the swallowed griefs at a funeral, … Continue reading The Nameless Dead and Other Poems

Splinter
