Afternoon of February 27, 2024


my continuous personal consciousness goes right on peeling potatoes

~Patrick Sweeney




I wish I was a butterfly

I'll grow wings when I die.


I wish that I was a phoenix

I'll rise again from cinder and ashes.


I wish I will live forever

forever young and forever fair.


but wishing stars fade, die

wishing stars fade and die.

~Fhen M.




in the frozen ground

a new grave waiting

to be fed

~Tom Blessing




pigeons

flying roof to roof

must be bored

~Tom Blessing




red banarasi

like sunshine

her acid-burnt face

~Debarati Sen



 

hail oh mountain wolves / do howl to your hearts' content / to tell us what is

~Charles A. Perrone



The twelve apostles rise

from the dead. Their job?

Drag bodies from Gaza

over the wall into Egypt.

When will the killing end,

they ask a wandering hippie ghost

singing about sunshine.

The sky turns black.

A cross appears,

holding a weeping man.

~Pris Campbell




isolating the war drums in his speech

~Patrick Sweeney




the people who didn't get there in time

~Patrick Sweeney




a pebble

in my niece's forehead

war hero

~Shasta Hatter




four crows stand

in the street

unmoved by cars

~Shasta Hatter




heavy with secrets

oh, how I long

to keep them

~Shasta Hatter




5G

the good doctor's

burner phone

~Kelly Moyer




twist of fate

a typo

in the tea leaves

~Kelly Moyer




he listened to both sides and served tea

~Patrick Sweeney




she was a smoker who every now and then wore a halo
