Boast

Let’s workshop this poem about a spirit medium who is not shy about revealing the dark underbelly of torments that come alongside his gift of intimacy with the great beyond

Boast 

The dry-hotline spirit medium, 
insecure around the kin 
of his mom-wife, tells the table

at Easter (like a dieter 
bemoaning her unease in public 
“with all the recent catcalling”)

how he can get no sleep lately
“with all the missing kids” 
tugging at his astral pantlegs.
