Two Poems
Love Poem & For God and Country
by Carson Jordan
Love Poem
every night in the bed of pigs
perfect is not always beautiful
to be in love is to be grateless
hearts are broken, all faiths cemetery,
bridge of a foot, a baby who breaks things
acquiesces to his back, my leg of mutton
it becomes will they won’t they
forever and this
fixes lonely
no one gets out alive
we like it like that
For God and Country
we are driving
to our lady
of lourdes
speak now
or forever
hold your pee
