Summer 2025 | Poetry
If Being Soft Is Hard
and you’re convinced that
smoke is the perfect choice
for relaxing into nasty
call it Karma or the
prostate gland’s invisible war
on impotence, but the
the love of God will
surely prevail in the
land of uncircumcision,
honoring all the
headless men who always
weep while loving.
