From today's Poetry Daily, a very different kind of Bob Hickok poem:


Flaw

Hands, the fit of them, to the neck. God's making

an end for the arm, murder, His, forgive me, my

pronoun, my rage, if in practice I lift them

to the window, morning's jet mirror, who, and what

you did, the cracked bell within, is not evil, but to ring it

is
