I dreamed I was in a Fellini movie

shooing a horsefly off the gorgonzola with a pink boa,

     anyone?

~Patrick Sweeney

Had Lenin toiled in the production centre?

Did Lenin himself toil in the sun?

Had Lenin hammered in the production,

There would be a complete revolution.

~Partha Sarkar

she doesn't want to talk about monkey bites in the coliseum

~Patrick Sweeney

staring at the bustling people fishes on sale

~Tejendra Sherchan

sunset moving a silhouette of shamrocks onto the bathroom wall

~Patrick Sweeney

tooth fairy decay

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

 

 

you can speak freely in front of these house sparrows

~Patrick Sweeney

cameras flash our rebirth is thwarted

~Richard Magahiz

in celebration of introversion hoodie

~Roberta Beach Jacobson

suddenly anxious for the appearance of violets

~Patrick Sweeney

boiling in the blood a sniveling appetite for lead

~Richard Magahiz

the clouds maybe don't know what they've gotten themselves mixed up in

~Patrick Sweeney

alone with my thoughts

clench eyes tight from the voices

too loud, too damn loud

~James Benger

ocelot protocols

stumps rot

to fashion-dust

~Richard Magahiz

after the rain

courts rule in favor

of the rainbow

~Jennifer Gurney

milkweed silk

at each ear     spiderwebs

drape the snout

~Richard Magahiz
