HOMAGE TO A KENYAN FOUND DEAD IN HER DORM ROOM

by Ken Craft






Like an anchorite
against hard floor,
she seems to have fallen
into the broken sleep of
war.

Her body’s zigged – black
“w” demanding why –
like Cassiopeia setting
in bullet-constellated
sky.


Ken Craft is a writer living in New England. His work has appeared in numerous literary journals.
