Tonight's Poet Corner: Calaban

Calaban
by Belinda Roddie

Nothing stings so much
as the

salt from an old man's staff,
pushing you away from tides
and forcing you to drink

hot imported brine, as your
southern hospitality is
re-used in jars
to be unscrewed only by a
magician's hands;
to be

abused only by a magician's
hands.
