Little Masticated Darlings by Lannie Stabile
|
Little Masticated Darlings is a series of true crime poems regarding the slayings of two young boys in the summers of 1984 and 1985.
This book is about meat, the juicy discovery of a family secret, and the flesh of boys under a savage summer sun. Your mother is there,
youthfully stoic Your face registers distrust, even while your tiny hand rests deadenly on the shoulders of a man in prison-issued khakis His thin fingers choke your thigh as he squeezes your body into the cold space between him and your mother. |
