On this day: June 12th
Random Poem of the Day
2Cabals of rock, wreckage, sobs of wet death,
3Caterwauled epics of drowning, a salt
5Of hunched and broken anarchic boulders
6Heaped against the fierce, mad, dark Atlantic
7By homicidal force that drove them there
8In dumb, impaling anger. I tremble;
9A blind roar suffocates the stars, a black
10Hatred lathers this grotesque beach and howls.
11I hear groanings like bones being smashed –- and cries
12Like infants hurled head-first against brick walls.
