poem || Lawrence Upton

The outrage of reply

What followed? A beginning?

was a beginning – laughter helps it --

showing signs of damage control,

time in mouths. We usually accept it, text filtering

has spoken its own answer

(one cannot be returning?)

appointed in the narrative,

the steam of the terrible world.

Siskin - paralyzed

Siskin - with syphilis

If you'll eat the candy called "Urchin" in the morning

poem || Lawrence Upton

New dead arriving

new dead arriving!

believed into steel skies

they meet passionately, loving,

blossom towers brimming.

confronting by flare up

world shimmering

the show, the bloodshed

jolting the fixed world

mist rising

an incredible act of protest

monetised

merchandised

no love

busy getting

believing strongly. questioning

by throwing a bunch of colours

are you willing to do that?

better yet, this is the question

i should support a war

no, or just bombing - immediately.

the passionate children

what is happening

in love in the process.

beauty of all without the loving

and a smile is happening

full of desperation

questioning say

interrogating golden bloodshed

within editorial process

shouting everywhere

an incredible act

shouting

sounding liking the ending

partly responsible

too much individualism

forms provide a paper sun

witnesses hang

sky not steam next step down red

reconstitution of jurisprudence

sometimes a page pronounced

and never repeated

with contemporary formal vocabulary

the best interior rooms in the world

the edge of the mystery of new things

buildings in morning sunlight

in terms of love

formal jargon of the dark

the whole ensemble

the point of contradiction

witnesses stab into the darkness

your touch will surely cut

you want towards clarity

the exterior rooms

their doors closed softly

the interview of desire

filmed inside tradition

discoverable in traditions

presenting complexity

presenting complexity!

flames for feeling

fire stretching to a human silhouette

watched dreaming

the mouth mostly designed from lucidity

poem || Jeff Harrison

Round Slumber

bildungsroman: live it up, execrable youth
till dewy lies fly from the foam
stars ring around red hollow
negligence from an old dove, leaves walk yes

sweet their thick down run repose, unaware get them rain
presto bed that own bosom is the must
suggested sleep the only pine-wood of two saws there
Round Slumber, what papers their nigh by day? Round Slumber,
may all your noise stand combing the woodland shoulders north

poem || Marianna Kijanowska

translated from Ukrainian to English by Volodymyr Bilyk

***
when everything goes and begins

past fall

takes ice

on water's surface

where does those leaves

comes from

everything is predicted

just today

with blooddrops of the birds

from side to side

dry and rustling

innocent fall

just like every bane

must come

and everything goes differently

for the bottom

when times comes to disappear

deep danger of the snow

just like any other danger

stops to be just like any other

it boils

in blooddrops of the birds

and someone sprinkles

these dry and bitter gingerbread of leaves

with sugar and ashes

it's you 

on the water's surface

but not after new testament

2 poems || ROMAN SADLOVSKIY

translated from Ukrainian to English by Volodymyr Bilyk

 

1

You'll never run again

Towards me

Intertwining in the long skirt

That's not because

There's no one left to walk in such skirts

even in the other one - 

you'll never run again

Towards me.

 

2

You cross

Sinister Hop Square

From the cathedral's side

To the polytechnique

- you got some big hopes on your mind

So walk on by

'cause "Lost hopes"

of the New-Nook-Nod

are watching after you.
