clang of bombs update

dear sirs,

please regard our mangrove from this promontory / premonitory backfilling will fracture pillars on monday / keep your sunday receipts beneath your oilskins / drone quintets will perform on contingency / feel free to discombobulate with nefarious natterings / this is no way to start the week / but we must start it anyhow / with the clang of bombs in the morning

What I’m Reading:

It would be a quieter holiday, no fireworks
or loud parades, no speeches, no salutes to any flag,
a day of staying home instead of crowding away,
a day we celebrate nothing gained in war
but what we’re given—how the sun’s warmth
is democratic, touching everyone…

— John Daniel / “Dependence Day”
