Poem from The Hartford Epic (Bunker)

Kenneth DiMaggio

The stars are like
the orange & pink
pornographic light
bulbs around the concrete
sign-less doorway of
Hartford’s only
lap-dancing club
otherwise known as
The Bunker which
tomorrow will probably be
a Pentecostal assembly
hall whose neon jaundice
crucifix illuminates
what was yesterday
a pole dancing bar

And if Heaven
sometimes glitters
like Hell (while
you easily mistake
Hell for the incandescence
of Heaven)

it’s still the same
bunker whether you pray
or jerk off or find
another way to seek
temporary refuge
from a city that
each night sinks
into an abyss
