Just got my copy of Rob Van Vliet’s (@rnv) new book, Vessels. Here’s a sample:
5 July
No matter how many times I asked,
the instructions were no help. So I stood
by the window, watching the buses pass,
all bound for parking lots as empty
as a table after the eviction.
And as the day began, I could still see
some stars, as surprising as
catching a handful of small
water-bugs skating on a lake of ash.
