House Of Shouts Poem by Leslie Philibert

House Of Shouts



Underclass; a running box
that middles the center
of a (not) living room.

Kidney table; an African girl beams
down into the smoke,
an ashtray of burnt souls.

Faces full of thin beer admire
the box lights of the estate,
double binds, grins, hopeless rutting.

Far; the flat black of fields
owls and air, silence.
