haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

White violets, viewed pencil thin, a meadow changed. What is it you were saying? Timetables, warbling doves,
a minus sign as far from here as Ralph, who glimmers in the sotto vision of remorse. I try to bask without a
prompt, and then what harbinger awaits? The limited endearment of a crush, a creche, a camisole until
I wash away already pale recall of brittle words that tone down peace. He worded things to make me interfere
with my own maxims. Then the day came when informal solitude resumed a quest removed once from
revocable agreements. Diminishing self in the wake of ocean rush. Parched daylight, desert as a way of
life, recursive overcast. This way we water down amenities, if only to survive their passing.

Gleam to glimmer, voice-over gone silver, thin new moon appearing

Sheila E. Murphy

poem || Jeff Harrison

Skylines

neighbors drip from the sky
under skyscrapers we'll find bio heat
there's no babytalk in this playhouse
white mouth's red smoke misspoke
throw this aside to read later
skeleton arms aren't fat for spit
not enough wolves for the millions, so relax,
what basks in ice can't be crueler than smoke
zeros billowing from the slivers, they're crash &
you clouds with satellites topple
the ground waits, the trees salute
your Book is maybe about skylines, Wormswork?
"make feathers not firmament dice,
Snake-Ten-Times-Longer-Than-My-Monologue-Time"
the smallest rush up to bob for apples
the fool in my voice looks a lot like you,
future well-wishers,
& she who claimed to be the sleepiest isn't lying anymore

red off soap


greener
striking
boyhood within

his groovy in;
pillow-like
hand swarmed

burn –
used: over

ringmasters
being—that which within desolate

a jarred

raincoat over
die-cast panoramic

happiness my
homonym doors
word the taste makes

seating to brace a complex breath

breaths below
removable
by him comfort overlaid the
blue reasons want tulip lifeless



shredded afternoon

a scandalous self-balancing
literal anyway
user together not

thrown retro
away

roadside swallowed
hissing toward chained not
halo
giggle

restrained;
forests superimposed in

hero square on book minimalistic of
all scattered reeds
the
novel is the cow punched of brims

holes monofilament brigade rain
reasons result not
corny have wash
stones of glass comfort fiberglass-
filled something
muscles foreground jagged
collaboration
