This poem does not please her. (2013) This poem does not please her - cover

We need you

When the powerful hoofs
of the riot horse break
the place in your chest
that covers your heart
fire at them
with all of your might
just be sure
that you don't
recede into dark

Troy Balthazar created a poem disguised as a novel disguised as a diary disguised as a work of art. Beautiful on every level, composed with feverish care, "3 Girls" will steal your soul and grind it into stars.
