One Ekphrasis Poem by Mark Blickley

 



“Here Lies Decay Dan”

 

Some are white lies

Mark Blickley grew up within walking distance of New York's Bronx Zoo. He is a proud member of the Dramatist Guild and PEN American Center. While taking his daily pandemic stroll through the Kew Gardens Queens, NY cemetery Maple Grove, he came across the above decaying corpse of a squirrel less than a foot from a tombstone.
