Game Enjambment is a reoccurring poetry series on games and gaming.
You circuspunk, blacklight fluorescent beings,
playing-card-hurling, opera-singing cacklers,
overgrown aquatic bestiary rejects,
spiny, snaggletoothed, horned living gargoyles:
How you’ve taken residence of late
(like beyond the witching hour,
issuing challenges in your garbled, misheard speech)
deep into little hovels in my heart.
Welcome, new denizens:
Like pressing through a fruit’s bruise,
you’ve found my soft spot for you.
