2 Poems by Christopher Barnes

.

“Putting You Through Now, Caller.” (1)

.

“Thirkell confided she’d bargained, hobbled away,

Fingers crushing that suitcase,

Something taut in her eyes.”

.

“Guess she’s on the plane,

An age-encrusted face glimmering in a window.”

.

“Putting You Through Now, Caller.” (3)

.

“Beth has a stark-mad warp –

Might-a-gored him anyway.

Kitten heels and blighting scrutiny.

Airless confidants once.”

.

“Retrace that freeloading…you at the wheel –

Pearls hustling on Cadillac seats.”

.
