haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

We did not disturb the screen, which was already torn. Instead, we wiped away the scarred paint
so the eye would travel naturally to another place. Not as insects might seem to enter 
the walled emptiness. A more novel seeming way to seek surprise. To bless the sudden stasis 
with a lake nearby. We took ourselves into a polished vehicle, pearl white, and drove away 
from water. Where for days we had been looking at the trees in little feather pockets lining the 
water's edge. People arrived unplanned. People who owned places on the water where 
they slept to rhythm of the water swishing forward, drifting back. The thought of fishing and 
the thought of quiet and the distance from routine made things as simple as a rest that stretched
across four measures. We left the screen scratched, twisted, and we looked into the woods
once more before the engine took us back into the state of motion, where we planned to reach
a plane in time to lift. 

On view, a tone, apart from its tone row, the intervals between

Legend of plural|s| risen advance

            from the singular mobility of tongues’ inherent untruths.  Thick
 
                                    throngs remorse upon

purchased by power’s encapsulating species.  How with
time do wrongdoings provide existential hope
 
pulsed by upon coverage of thrill do
whereabouts boomerang as slang         karma’s                      clichéd fundamentals.

Tremors, recall them? then “fear, father, why do angles represent reality?”
 
answers
 
locate private missions
 
releasing tongue from humid mouth, poised though
 
controlled
 
answering swift from experiential hallways
 
lined with 90degree representations
 
blackened white renaming colorful positions
 
hanging, though requiring shadow to instigate dimension
 
against
 
malevolent gossip of the memory’s internal
 
theatrics|

themes require incessant knowledge of their intuitive particles.  of radiant specialized devotion to unabridged salient focus.  globes of radiant bulbs rest on a window of against familial frustration.  a handful of thus becomes near a defiant ending, but then, adlibs workings into dissection’s fascination with destructive aspectual guidelines of pseudo-science.  among guideposts, thrust into flat-footed trust; impulse: reactionary: fathoms: opportune metaphor grips the spine of a moment’s misleading intuition|

poem || Edward Nichols

synthetic soul

...Crustaceans cliged to the Spatial Frequencies,and, myriads kaleidscopic clours filled theair.Summation Overlords anti-gravity,Jackson Pollocks
buckets of paint,paintig dreams.Analyticle provocation angles at the window on the ceiling. Wondrous proposals see the flashlight at the end of the road.

Sure the trilogy of infamy stays in KRSNA consciousness.Premature shine blades sign the glimmer on the Golden path.

Going through it backwards ,a summarie is in the calling.Fuzz retardant jocular vein mimicing theartificial horticuculture displaying tommy guns at the locality of a distance. River flowing gackwards defensive energyREproduces farflung notions.Synthetic soul.
   Wagner-Critical assumptions.Deranged to see that the only thing that performs in the fashion if reality,teir control becoming epidemic
intheir dialectable formations. The culture of our society is flooded

poem || Raymond Farr

With A Supplicant's Ease

Organized around this, a plane flew
A view of char, spat sitting

The beer green, a tea envoy
To queer China, burlesque-like

Toucan touched by, plaid nectar sophist
Machinist to uphold

Cratered-like, as in hollow
Hello, are you pear?

To believe scan
Upwards of 100 grand, a totem particulate

Oft crunchy, patella for sale
Has spurs, involuted poetics

Inhabit surface
Like a kingfisher, of splices, ornithology

To the grave site, a mirror
In blue sequin butter dish, of lovers’

Gonniff-spires, trotting out
Bladderwort, too frequent too

Apprehensive stillnesses, a buck is a 
Dollar, my dear is a pawn

A dollar Zagnut a
Perfect allusion, sane, in part distant

Or all about sky line
A fly is a yacht, heavy to the nightmare

A Shelley of cinders, on page one I lop
In magic, an ode

Notable few, a crow on
A ton, as in fence post, a line

Re-contained, ABABABBA etc
The kicking one, her powder

post-impression
 
irate from things occasionally arcane
but rarely arrant misanthropic rooting
out the hubris narcissists unearth
in person from this mess as if your haven's
flown and elsewhere find your cohorts spent
a night's stint filling up the new beer mugs
the inn's old guests with pale engendered fierce
tapping by high jacked sources thoughtfully
exacerbates the easily provoked to
anger anticipating rainworms from
the dank deciduous dirt averts the reams
of strange denatured things to wed unstrung
edges a superego goaded exiled 
vision to no numinous straw hat

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Jasmine white tea eases off the gold-inflected rush of masculine vibrato. 
His forearms come to mean the whole Romantic period. I leave the 
precious metal in its case. From kitchen's white, songbirds define
late-spring, in close succession. A pencil moves against the page, fills in 
each regulation square. How thin the residue, gentility received from silken 
haze. Small sips enfold a choice upon the threshold of becoming 
space. A moment to myself. Some syllables, one breath each. No shadow 
of the thing. The thing itself. Smooth table, unsourced light, beyond 
vocabulary of one tone.

All at once, at once, just this

Sheila E. Murphy

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Spaces between saplings, and the flow-through of thin butterflies.
A respite dawns on place, insomnia the color charcoal, holds.
As if an invocation, practice rooms release the wrinkled versions
of etudes as preface to dry sun. The nerves do what they must,
connect with other nerves within muscular homesteads. How to walk
is music of intention. Poured across each tangible, beyond imagined
likeness. A numbered print to go.
 
Place, restored granule by granule, imparting gradually a whole
 
Sheila E. Murphy

poems || Jim Leftwich

theme

past sap sapient pagination
agitates angry awning
night-light and guantanamo
malice by law
nihilist and patterned

05.16.2011





variation


tool sheds ladder-tongue
but oblong bucolic

tongue scalded loss
and sails


05.16.2011





theme

lottery tool dials ladder
dung-grit to each day
as if to say
drumming
waiting
itching

05.16.2011





variation

cauliflower waits tooling latter
damages nasturtium concrete
crust aside the sliding bile
boiled language gargles tools
and ladders die gilded dung

05.16.2011





theme

later dull tools and ladders sinus
nab able-bodied kayak tongue
under ammo angry and well-lit
knitting hats

05.16.2011





variation

each day we say Panamanian
mammalian agit-prop
a suntan in itself
satiate and itch
