Celebrating Kansas' Sesquicentennial

7. To the Stars Through Difficulty: Judith Roitman

The way an artery spikes,
blue fire and light,
bullet sky, bullet brain,
confused edge.
Who meets here?
drowned against what fence?
Fire branches, mourned
& wings:
two, none, here.
“Where did they go, mommy?”

– Judith Roitman
