Fentanyl’s Forgotten Feeds
Let's workshop this poem about a baby whose fentanyl-incapacitated mother leaves her hungry and vulnerable to drug-dealers who show unexpected noble restraint in their abuse of power
Fentanyl’s Forgotten Feeds
Crib-side bukkake
by bandanaed Bloods
dipping only ever balls
into its mouth,
suckling furiously
in cheek-hollowing latches—
their undeclared decency
irreducible to fear
of getting caught.
