Dam

By Thomas Page   A concrete wall blocks a river Making a lake Or not.   Human’s creative hand To shape the land in its image. Stewards of the desert Or any arid place Baptized in life-giving water.   A great roar reverberates From the concrete wall. A krypton waterfall with internal rage, Eternal rage … Continue reading Dam

A Portrait

By Thomas Page   Trying to capture someone’s essence, When they are no longer with us, Is like trying to replicate mummy-brown, Or Homer’s wine-dark seas, Or the rose of Augustus’ statues, Or the kinetic motion of Van Gogh, Or the undulations of O'Keeffe, Or the that shade of blue of Matisse, Or the stinging … Continue reading A Portrait

About Me

By Glen Armstrong   You did not say my name. But I assume you were talking. About me. The Skrulls and the Kree. Go to war. I assume it was something I said. A wet sock accentuates.

Snow Globe

By Glen Armstrong Bones of snow. Seem to float within her. A horse and carriage makes its way. Through her wintery mood. The night would be beautiful. If not for this grave mission.

Sea-Monkeys

By Glen Armstrong   I'm afraid of poetry. Who’s to say that those interesting. Young people at the podium. Won’t summon a demon. Or make the whole room fall. In love. I have boots to reheel. And no time to feel weird. About daffodils and wars. That my grandparents fought.   Words ought to inspire … Continue reading Sea-Monkeys

Sunsetted Clauses

By James Walton   She told me my hips could carve ham, a girl I loved dead early on a Sunday morning, a car in a suburban chance roll over the edge of Hailes Street. Langy knows we still blame him. His life of laying bricks the string line’s quiver a darting mouse, the memory of water … Continue reading Sunsetted Clauses

high in the sky

by Wanda Morrow Clevenger   my card arrived at last so we stopped in at the pot dispensary   hippy music they used to call it teemed March Madness screeched silently on the big screen   water and coffee around the corner and free snacks in a basket   after keying me in the associate … Continue reading high in the sky
