Batter The Fall by Robin Wyatt Dunn

batter the fall
man the otter
announce the day
in falsetto accent
now plummeting away:

all the dreams of Los Angeles
lost in a fire

magnificent

the beggars and homeless warm themselves by the inferno,
sharing the finest vodka,

and the city knows it’s beaten
over the inversion layer,
all the angels are leaving

Robin Wyatt Dunn lives in Los Angeles. In this picture he is holding his tiny chapbook MARY, from Rinky Dink Press.
