3 poems || John Pursch




Frenetic Throne


The yearling weighs a seasonal platter of tender municipal graphite, warning a putter of impious waterfall ploys, panning terminal jingles with toothy placards. Drums roil, warts careen off peerless welts, and newly spotted grooms infect the heaving chassis with rashly angled feats. Shades of sheet music entertain a guessing game’s sister of matrimony, hocking childhood for hourly grist, grown by the century. Aimless and peering under wagon truces, general implosions convert legendary patches to everyday paths, Brownian and ill-defined, flipping bitwise latitudes for shortened treadmill use. Handoffs preclude the shuttlecock, crafting infant cider from incorruptible vermouth, splashed by ambidextrous flunkies on crossword frazzle necks. Phlebotomy sets in, yielding sloped wickets, jimmying the glowing horn’s foveal basement tine, halting at a duodenal etching. Bowling flourishes against an onset’s florid tomb, ignorant and blazing, setting neutered operatives after poshly resected fiefs. Domiciles eschew compartment jeans, freely imbibing a third drumstick’s artful cage, regardless of initialed capers. Semantic flutters span the blushing swath, hatching mental shinpads, crashing a partially impaled changeling into stability’s sunlit ardor. Berths fuel the pyre’s vaulted incentive, spraying human secrets on axial bloat’s frenetic throne.

Tin Hammock


Crepe operands smear percolating gypsies down cylindrical halls, bleary-eyed and touched by bales of wickered finery, melting into charmed neophytes. Peristalsis jabbers at hidden eternal moons, angling for fleshy wire halters, groaning into a collapsed awning’s only barkeep. Swapping torment for easy chariots, circular mastiffs freeze supernal racks of farmhand sneezes, doling out an armature’s higher feature, phlegmatic and subdued by worms. Dietary embers endure, imbued with swollen altimeters, hitching a halyard to safer poles of harsh Anglican magnates. Speeding for an altered dream’s agoraphobic bleat, copper collars tighten, grabbing knotted gurney kits, shaking ape marauders till they boil the splenectomy’s pleasing pinwheel. Points of disinterment rest their closet chasers, dashing wrought vinegar on icy rows of cucumber malts, servile and appropriately raucous, given the nooner’s crescent swoon. Old and stranded in memory’s tin hammock, our bony estuary angers enchanted usurers, ushering out the bridal fleece, meting in the unmeshed quotient’s lasting Dorito. Elders hinder tinsel grams, spilling neighborly wards, tumbling prone gown makers into tugboat cues. Horizons breed septic actions, lashing ominous prescience to a tipsy motive’s laminar brow, curried with bioflavonoids. Flooding the octagon, mastery implies dearth, freely heating the backbeat’s blue intent.

3 texts || John Pursch



Housewife Sandwich


What we have seen is veiled by lost inklings of a calendar’s sweet malaise, turned to trailers in a domed statue’s choral vacuum. Selfless terms simper into turnstile vendettas, sidle up a planter’s christened façade, and immunize a cartwheel, frying whimsical altars at dawn. Jettisoned by germinal artichokes, a fluffy pedal pusher sears the rows of gearbox gowns with lame therapies, ceding the high ground to crammed jungle props, repelling sequined minerals. Easing into the seaside enclave, bracing for embryonic whist, a sharpened seed finds solar lassitude in edgy worlds of final luxury, remanding egrets to the waistline caboose. Freighters bob in the beans of baying gamers, sprucing down a fluke’s dorsal coating. Moot entendres speed in silent trance to stenciled op-art bassinets, plastering housewife sandwiches across a porn star’s looping, bridled gnu. Emory tape ejects reported bits, emitting practiced sinecures of cherished southern whey. Bushy concepts heed a tuna’s growing blob, blushing at the garbled phylum’s docile pronation bid.

Wino Reset Bladder


Redundant scars absolve cerebral ladles of all encrusted tarps, leering and guffawing, hovering beneath a bottom shake routine. Chaining seamless artisans to strolling rock marriages, societal mares winnow the florid entries, parting pants for cooling hose lies. Rebuttals kiss antithetical barcode slammers, grazing halftracks with octal pelts, freaking over avian umpire skits. Tendencies to home in under radome glows lead a crowded boxcar to curried transom clues, renaming prehistoric fences. Ovals cleave archaic sisters, spending clarity’s largesse on vicious segments of unpopulated brie. Steady depth mesmerizes the barge, crimping pointed triage pews with cocktails made for paper-cuts. Perspiration bleeds through offhand mules, asking camshaft kitties for daycare clackers or dreaming lassoes. Shifty handsprings crush cholesterol counters between encoded thighs, clanking out of tombstone cars, spattering wimpy urgings across the scanner’s silver. Corrected monkeys wig out for nominal effusion, blindly corroborating a meatless surfer’s greeting-card truce. Horns defy all nascent ordinances, fueling each alley’s wino reset bladder with pointedly startled antiques, darkening a risky prune. Soon propositioned tunnels will wean a bathing chutney’s frosted lowlife of its grazing phobia, covering the stockyard with stylized beets. Hoot at freely mown omens, slacking off till no one spells an impresario’s itchy pylon.

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy


More of the daylight, equalized, occurs in lullabies. Pacific shingles
lattice how the source is built. More shields sinking means
the premises are locked down as the antonym of our mentality. More
of the dampness breaks away from surfaces, minds filled with
other minds. More tonnage fortifies smooth walks across the vast
place codifying feasts and whelps. More yarn, more lodes
to muse upon, about, around. More gardens than the eye can count. 
More of the same estrangement. More feeble in the freshness near 
tormented gardens. More of appearance-driven heat and swarms 
and stay-put butterflies. 

Miranda rights, modalities, mown hay drawn sheets of mercy

Sheila E. Murphy
