Cold Comfort


My skeleton, Bob
But three jumpers on,
He said it was just the job,
Now that all his flesh has gone.

I hear stars whirling

between conflicts

inspiration
is everywhere
when you open your eyes
and see
that it is not very inspiring

world in flames watching a movie

Out back
in the back
lot of a
closed-down
studio
he found
some
moving
pictures.

This poem is a note on this poem


She found it unicorned inside the
hiding-place of those animals
that did not make it onto the Ark.

THE LATE, VERY GREAT MOLLY LUFT
(b. 3/19/1944, d. 11/24/2010)


Have you, pray tell, ever heard of Molly Luft
Who passed last November twenty-fourth?
Widely hailed as "Germany's fattest whore,"
A heroic figure, renowned in Teutonic lore, 
Treasured icon of trash TV and other media --
This was Molly, according to Wikipedia.
She weighed one hundred-eighty kilo in her prime
And, sad to say, she died well before her time
Because, though she was nicely toned and buffed,
There was just too much Molly…and too little Luft.

~Elliot Wilner



his shuffle
fermented
by aging 

~Ingrid Bruck



all the hills 
surrounding my native village 
ravaged by landslides——
even after I wake up 
my limbs tremble 

~Tejendra Sherchan 



Books


The house came into the dream.
The walls of book, floor of book,
my uncle complaining about a burning
furore in his chest and I said, "Find
the right book, the one you have been
seeking, remove it from the pile,
and the structure will collapse"
That would have released the house, him,
and tonight I might have a blank dream.

~Kushal Poddar



I don’t want it to be fine 
Because fine is not enough

scrapyard
the fallen ones
still burning

even an ellipsis can’t save us … dawn

penny lane
no room here
for inflation

~Joanna Ashwell



stuck again
the glue
of thought
