Moon’s Song

April 4, 2022April 4, 2022 Judith Staff

If you desire to measure how far you have trekked, across meadows and deserts of emotion, and oceans of storm-filled nights, look back toward the horizon. For there remains, soaked in your tears, the crumbling bones of all your relationships. The harmful sort, which once upon a time took hungry Read more

Thermage

April 1, 2022April 1, 2022 Rebecca Lee

Lying on the thin white cotton pillow of the procedure room / the nurse hands me the stress ball / swaddled in a blue latex glove / a nod to the virus still rampaging through the unvaccinated / The ball is for me to mash in my clenched fist / Read more

HISTORIAN

March 21, 2022March 21, 2022 Nancy White

She can repair things with a little twist of wire. Even sentences. She’s “writing it all up,” she says and none of the imagery’s from nature. Came over to say she’s seen the key will be to insert random blank pages in the chronology, not too early, where the mind Read more

Everyman’s Heart

March 21, 2022March 21, 2022 Alexandra Meehan

Your glass is rattling, A broken bell on the rocks, But it is not time yet. You scrape the meat to the side, Then set down the knife, I Call you in to cut the cake— Red velvet, a flower arrangement For you to gently pick at, You lean over Read more

Dreamland

March 21, 2022March 21, 2022 Z. M. Wise

Cast away into mystic mind oceans deep, enter serene cerulean blue subconscious soul. Sink into quicksand, remains of the Cultivator of Sleep Production. Slip away with the wind’s best friend. Soulless green plateau flatland rises, mountain guardians defend their holy mooneyes. Tactful window eyes view the other side, a melting Read more

For Emily

March 7, 2022March 7, 2022 Victoria Addesso

I give you the gasoline rainbow glistening next to the crumpled beer cans and soggy strips of newspaper. I give you diamond shards of broken bottles and the ruby ribbons of spilled Cabernet decorating the dirty gutter. I give you the tough greens growing between the concrete’s cracks and their Read more

Aging Red

February 21, 2022February 21, 2022 C. Streetlights

These days, they melt like a Dali minutes dripp- ing into the hours but seconds pour, pour, pour- ing into the days. I wear age like I do my lipstick – bright, bold, and red. I am red years old. Age is a number that deceives like a Seurat, dots Read more
