Christopher Mulrooney


a dice-throw 

Gombrich had it wrong abstract art is not what faceless 
totalitarians like 
they like kitsch 
family kitsch heroic kitsch 
what you will

or how does it seem to them 
hunkered and bunkered 
“the Word rightly divided”?

an illogic of logistics 
a pillar of fire?



Christopher Mulrooney’s poems, fiction, translations & photographs have appeared in ComboQuarterly Literary Review of SingaporeJanus HeadLoopSavoyThe Burning Bush, and Retort
