Tonight's Poet Corner: Unfamiliar Territory
Unfamiliar Territory
by Belinda Roddie
If you find yourself confronted
by a predator, should you rend your flesh
and toss a scrap for it to sniff at, while
you sprint toward the nearest door? If the
brass knob breaks off like dried bone, still
push, and it will open. You can bandage
your exposed muscle in the bathroom. It
won't hurt. It will be just like covering
a living red ribbon with clouds.
