Afternoon of August 26, 2022

mildewy the melody of closure

~Ranice Tara

autoimmune disorder it's always just me against I

~Mark Meyer

winged monkeys

swinging the jump rope

for Dorothy

~Eavonka Ettinger

a beehive cluster

in the closet –

grandpa's zoo

~Daipayan Nair

pandas

tumbling down

an avalanche

~Eavonka Ettinger

a foreign body

in my tea

I think he’s Latvian

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

full moon

witching hour

and they chant

spell the tea

spill the tea

~Lorelyn De la Cruz Arevalo

cat in a cape jumping over the gibbous mooncake

~Lorelyn De la Cruz Arevalo

bucolic forest walk tranquility 'til the nettle patch

~Mark Meyer

invisible hand

of the market takes away

the baby bottle

~petro c.k.

taping the pieces

of his letter

over his eyes

~Kimberly Kuchar

I sip espresso

and wait for the Colosseum

to fall

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

in the still

of darkness

a witch's

car goes

broom broom

~petro c.k.

Zumba!

Screw those lightbulbs!

Screw the world!

~Mark Gilbert

couch potato

twice baked
