A Poem from a Poem

[Lightning Rod]

this is a poem that I wrote as a spin-off from another poem written by my friend David Gene Fowler. The first and last stanzas are his words from a poem written in the last century called The Empty Rape of High Fashion. Gene is the author of Border Radio and other books.

It is my sincere hope that the former will find the latter.
