Reading Richard Brautigan Drunk By Dan Flore III


I closed the book after reading a passage

it almost grounded me


I needed to step into clearer waters

the Bible





Dan Flore III’s writings have appeared in many publications. He is the author of several books, the latest being EVERYTHING MUST GO. (Cajun Mutt Press)
