Writer's block -
my inner critic
never
short of words
~Caroline Ridley-Duff
dark
laughter
vultures hover over
the hospital
~Bob Carlton
dawn
in
the sewer the
crazed rat
fidgets and
waits
for
his chance at
what he
knows not
~Bob Carlton
he
said something about the dangerous individualism of the wren
~Patrick Sweeney
with Ice at the door: would I calmly eat my pot-au-feu
like
Labiche in "The Train'
~Patrick Sweeney
happy in our gravity: we agreed we'd be crushed on Jupiter
and
dunking from the foul line on Mercury
~Patrick Sweeney
Box of ghosts
All those crooked photographs
Ashes
of youth
~Sarah Mahina Calvello
though he lightly touched on the ripple effects of 1096
people
kept moving away from him
~Patrick Sweeney
all
I had to do was sit in the sun and count my freckles
~Patrick Sweeney
tracing my anxiety back to the Three Little Pigs
and
a possible flaw in the mathematics of revolving doors
~Patrick Sweeney
the bin
filled to the brim again
this eternal fuss over
who
takes out the trash
~Jackie Chou
exasperated
in a long bus ride
I lose track
of
what I want in life
~Jackie Chou
I've
been in the middle of nowhere before
~Patrick Sweeney
