CHRISTIAN MAHONEY

Bile

A pint away from the tired mass.

There’s pulse in that.

Sifting through bile for something potable.

“Combating the urge to poke holes,

without giving the knife up.”

Christian Mahoney is a Cape Cod writer and curator of On The Dole Magazine. His work leans bleak, surreal, and deadpan. Recent pieces orbit memory, work, and the small violences of ordinary life.
