midget

May 2, 2022May 2, 2022 Jodie Beckstine Killian

My ready defense is self-deprecation. Before you can stare, I’ll tell a joke about my body. Put you at ease, it hurts me inside. The boundary between humor and reality is blurred.

14 Detours to Asia

April 4, 2022April 4, 2022 Christina Strigas

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.

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
