|
my body
minus my dreams
a strangled squid
|
|
David Kowalczyk
come with me, she says—
the swollen river
runs brown |
|
|
|
white wind the eyes of the dead seal missing
|
Carolyn Hall
| |
autumn chores I buy myself a machete
|
|
Cherie Hunter Day
| green for a few words gray green |
heaven’s mall holograms ride up-only escalators |
| a night of dense fog no vacancy |
John Stevenson
| |
winter silence
what's finally heard
|
|
Curtis Fisher
back of the house your voice lights a candle |
Gregory Hopkins
a thread worn hole in the illusionist's hand
|
from someone's baby a smile that knows me |
far from home a ghost crab floats in the rain
|
Ron C. Moss
in bed
failed attempts
at private meaning
|
Eric Burke
| |
goddess of regeneration
peeing
beside the evergreen
|
|
Ed Baker
nudging ghosts
of fringed gentians
the autumn wind
|
|
winter’s day
the alternating regions
of a bird note
|
Dru Philippou
| a butterfly december rises to meet it |
a year left to smirk us
|
| this year even last and before i've fallen short of myself |
birds wait on my thoughts to disappear into seeds |
a cold wind scraps of paper languish in my mind
|
marlene mountain
I sang for your wedding bath, your wedding bed
|
J. Zimmerman
| His floating ribs mackerel sky |
Reeperbahn lamppost anonymous moths |
Guy Simser
| |
Dawn glows on the edge
Signaling the departure
Of the windy dead
|
|
Eric Greinke
| |
more waterfalls
falling
from her ears
|
|
Scott Metz
| |
|
facing the abyss
lichen
graffiti |
| |
exhausted after
orgasm: the branch
where a crow was
|
|
one breath
millions of bats streaming out
millions of bats streaming in
|
|
|
Peter Yovu
|
Utsav-
the god going round
the street houses
|
|
A.Thiagarajan
whale bones
so unlike mine:
cold sea wind |
Mike Dillon
| |
what I left behind
was not left behind
New Year's Day
|
|
Victor Ortiz
|
A darkness so deep
I am surrounded
by gold beetles |
A neon message
for every pore...
becoming night |
|
| |
Pure brightness
deconstructing
an ordinary dream
|
Paul Pfleuger, Jr.
| chest caving under the spring sky's blue |
lightning flashing under my eyelids up my ankles
|
Dana Duclo
| |
she lifts one child--
the underwater years
of dragonflies |
|
Peggy Willis Lyles
grasshopper
gets into my head
linen fresh
|
|
pussy willows all roughed up ... |
Tyler Pruett
| |
A Wake
Sounds
Of mockingbirds
|
Earth curves
At places
A bowl of leaves
|
