Unforgettable
That look in your eye when you
Ate the last cookie
~Jennifer Gurney
the weight
of existential theory
my fractured toe
~Keith Evetts
Trying
for bipartisanship,
The dog meowed;
The cat barked
disapproval.
~Steve Gerson
In
My Mind
The knots unwind
As the secrets emerge
From the family vault.
~F. Kate Langan
where to go how pigeons know
~Keith Evetts
doing time shadow of the convict
~Roberta Beach Jacobson
spattered with crankcase oil the lilacs
~Richard Magahiz
repetitive lies of love paper hearts

What’s
for Lunch
My heart huddles on a roadside diner stool.
Fried chicken drips missed chances on her lap.
A milkshake paints her mouth with froth and grief.
Chocolate pudding leaks from rips she patched with promises.
Above her vultures circle, eyeing her as roadkill,
a runaway run over by a freight truck called life.
~Nolcha Fox
life...
my decision not to read
the manual
~Keith Evetts
