city bus
every tragedy
taken
~Patrick Sweeney
listen man, no one here cares where the electrons are
~Patrick Sweeney
looking for a place to put yesterday's pink crayon moon
~Patrick Sweeney
China white stars
the mysterious conferences
of crickets
~Patrick Sweeney
jelly shoes, and after all, we're in space
~Patrick Sweeney
his advice was to hang onto whatever nothingness you've got

horror
at the manor
only the butler survived
~David C. Kopaska-Merkel
plague of hippos
thank God most of them
only have one head

Seems to be a curse
The call of distant strangers
Never will be meet

Sunbloked face
Getting packages
At the door

The backbone of the poet has vanished
'Only backbone makes differences..'
Once wrote the poet.
Wheels on the Time
With the injustice committed by the ruthless state
And protests against it most of the fire in rain.
Only the backbone of that poet has vanished.

mid-summer
we
add a dash of lemon
to our conversation
~Mona Bedi
dirt
road
a honey crisp apple
falls off the cart

meditation
a housefly
wiggles
through my hair

Below the Empty House
Assembled from the trash
that face
In the cellar's darkest corner
tumbled bones
The narrow cobwebbed stair
steeply descending toward
a congeries of murmurs
The flashlight dies
warm sibilant breaths
~David C. Kopaska-Merkel
Thunderstorms
and fireflies
Childhood summer spreadsheet-stolen-
Too hard
to monetize
the uncaged green

lobbing the ancient cannonballs of rhetoric
