topiary

you like to think of it as
fashioning, shaping,
trimming to fit

everything looks better
smaller

at least, that’s how
it seems to you,
because you are
small

always pruning, shaping,
lopping bits off

leaves of contentment
stems of security
roots of self-worth
the flowers of joy

you make it all tiny,
small enough to fit
in your dainty little
terrarium

or in your pocket

or your shoe

A Collage of Chimeras and Phantasms, the 12th publication by Kevin Trent Boswell

A Collage of Chimeras and Phantasms is a
general collection of poems. The material veers wildly in several directions at once. You’ll find stream-of-consciousness pieces, romantic poems, works of heartbreak, dark scalpel slices that reside in the penumbra of horror, and avant-garde bits of absurdism. So, there’s no need to trouble yourself attempting to understand the methodology here—there is none.
