Glance by Susan Tepper

Trouble the darkness
it springs right back
doesn’t want to
know your story
Alive / Unsparing
It blunts your canines
shackles arms
to legs 
in cathartic explosion
from 
just a glance (!)
your ears ringing
church bells 
out of synch
I will tell you this
for the last time



Susan Tepper is a twenty year writer in all genres, and the author of nine published books.  Her most recent are CONFESS (a poetry chapbook by Cervena Barva Press, 2020) and a quirky road novel WHAT DRIVES MEN (Wilderness House Press, 2019).  Currently Tepper is in pre-production of an Off-Bdwy play titled THE CROOKED HEART which she based on artist Jackson Pollock’s later years.
