by Spiel
this time
you hold the sway
at the click of your mouse
this time
you strike the match
that ravages trust
this time
you write
the blacklist
that imprisons tongues
of those who would speak
to free you
There is no NEA nor MFA influence in diverse writings of personal conflict and social consciousness by the poet Spiel, published frequently, internationally, online and in independent press journals. His latest books are: she: insinuations of flesh brooding (March Street Press) and once upon a farmboy (MadmanInk)
