down Lawless Way
we play our cards close
to our chest at 10 am
the Legal Aid lawyer offers
me a shot of whiskey sketches
question marks on the Brief of Evidence
shreds witnesses' credibility
annihilates the police time-line
down Lawless Way
we fight fire with fire
burn down the house
burst into flame
a psychic predicts:
landslides
jarring news
cross currrents
in matters of the heart
she shuffles the Tarot
passes you the Tower
the world
falls out
from
under
(y)our
feet
where do you land
from the skies deep
and purple
bruised burnt
how do you fall
down Lawless Way
fire with fire
fighting
Dear Kristen, what a champion poem. Love how it goes high and low. (You get passed the Tower, you'd better be fighting fire with fire.)
