For Barbara Howie Good


A woman

walks out

of the darkness

and flames,

and speaks

in a voice I feel

in my body

rather than hear.

I don't care

if it scars,

or anything.


Howie Good is the author of The Loser's Guide to Street Fighting, winner of the 2017 Lorien Prize and forthcoming from Thoughtcrime Press, and Dangerous Acts Starring Unstable Elements, winner of the 2015 Press Americana Prize for Poetry.
