Symbols public and private mix in a cartoon grail tucked behind the stump where stood the opposite of the tree of life. There's a human mouse with bloodied grin and once-white gloves. A forest stroll. The control of the mind. Suspicious trapped forever in the stone walls of the gates to the world beyond the world. A trilogy of paranoia from 2019-2020 America.
By now these poems have mutated, their villains and heroes crossed, transmuted, meanings uncoupled from words. That's good.
