BIPARTISAN

by Charlie Mehrhoff


One hand
with as much flesh upon it
as the other.

Yet I see only shade,
not sustenance,
in the fruit trees of Babylon.


Charlie Mehrhoff has sent out little work in the past decade but has occasionally offered some words to The New Verse News. Survival issues. Crafting the Word is a Web site window into his work.
