Dependable Ladies

Posted on 10/11/2015 by john keast

Gracefully they move up a path of flowers, past the towering oak, the laughing, bobbing faces of fritillarias. To each a stick, tapping the fine shingle, brass point raising dust for sensible brown shoes. Ladies of service; carers and helpers: nothing’s a bother, ladies a plate. Please. Dainty sandwiches, cut on the quarter, asparagus rolls,…

Rubble

Posted on 09/11/2015 by Mark Prisco

1. In the next room tapping the stone wall, messaging   you; I too am in ruins;   and long for you;   2. hours, days;  the decades lose distinction. Let us meet in some corner of the Gardens; the graveyard next door, at 1: it’s better   in the morning; never a soul ever…

hinterland

Posted on 06/11/2015 by Mark Prisco

But who can know who or what is real? I came to, breathing still, delicate air; the Dove at the Fountain, after which this place is named, is still there; and you too will come to lay here – in the flesh (if it be your will), I mean. It’s the sort of place birds…

Manifest

Posted on 04/11/201512/08/2017 by Editor

Looking like feathers that fell from doves, In the doorway, Your hair soaked from the rain, Eyes peering from beneath, Pools of heartbreak yearning, A pair to dance the waltz of ghosts, Balls of grief in your arms I beckon you in.

The Dawn

Posted on 03/11/201503/11/2015 by john keast

First there is blackness pricked with light, then tree lines come into view: dawn is at the gate. It lets out its light to startle a fence marching up a hill, a hunched house, a lone cat, low, white socks padding the dust, the great gum’s arms reaching ever up, leaves silver ticers. This is…

Interloper

Posted on 02/11/201502/11/2015 by Sommer Cullingford

She ranged, she was hastily creative, she hatched tiny, expired empires arranged on whims, sweet nonsense and the contraction of ideas; she said they always split – rent – down the stem, where each divide was high or torn a-shred. A venous mistress, she approached the human hustle not for reproduction, but the blooded marrow…

grave evening

Posted on 02/11/2015 by peterlebaige

      grave evening one by one i read the names of everyone i’d ever known on the headstones wondered how it came to pass that i was left here alone in evening lay down beside them like a flower broken in storm turned soothingly to ash until the wind dusted me away. evening, 22 june…

Just Degrees

Posted on 02/11/201502/11/2015 by gizzyblue

Everybody is fucked up! Just six degrees of separation Yoga Vegan diet Daily meditation- Wine Marijuana Giving in to temptation- Society is fucked up! Just two degrees of contemplation Black or white No shades of grey Nothing to come and go on- No rainbow children No cloud boys No faerie girls- Nobody is really fucked…
