Marathon Key
by
Damon Hubbs
from the back cabana
the sun drops like
a doomed voyage
by balloon
we disrupt leisure
with danger
on the edge of the
continent
salvage work, really
but who owes what
to whom
autopsying in the
glare
nothing connects,
it coincides
a bellwether
for the imps &
iguanas
to hold high carnival
