sea turtles

saving the world or

something

~Eavonka Ettinger

swarm of flies—

        mourners 

             with agenda

~A.J. Anwar

lying awake

rusted key

opening nothing

~Kimberly Kuchar

she fishes

in her ancestors’

heads

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

sleep talking

to a brick wall

and they live

happily never after

therapy

~Lorelyn De la Cruz Arevalo

cold room

he juggles with my

psychology

~Ranice Tara

pad thai and chocolate cheesecake self-destruct

~Mark Meyer

 

triple chocolate muffin

all the gloop

in the final mouthful

~Mark Gilbert

under the stairs

whispers

inside the walls

giggles

between her ears

nothing

~Kimberly Kuchar

time travels . . .

ancestor’s gum

on my shoe

~Roberta Beach Jacobson
