OFFICIAL SELECTION OF RACHEL RABBIT WHITE
Peasant Poems
Peasant’s song
Little fallen flower
in the shadow
of chain link
Peasant Girl Lost
False lashes
glued to the floor
I could pray
Peasant in Stocks
I’m a tear drop
I’m a soap sliver
A silk slipper
I’m a trash bag
a ball gag
I am not myself
the ducks in the park
get down after dark
and fall asleep ass up
and fall asleep ass up
Peasant
Prayer is whatever you say on your knees
