poem || Peter Ganick

precision taken as commentary.


as late as getting remoter amid settlements
disbursed motions wave through 
prairie licorice--there stalling tendons
there tinderbox dry karmas--as a reign
of prolated mode-scruples defray
what is well-suborned introits to defray---


generously aporia--that is alternative motion
somewhere fallible and quick--the residue
amounting itselves overhauled from abuttal
messengers--those thatthen flying surpass
whole qualifying memorandas--debuts wildly
appreciable though sendmail washes difference
grounded lots invent chorale suborning---


thatthere sic oeuf in candling 
somewhat rewind--therein spaces delight
where inarticulate the enough tantalus
debonaire calumet frissons---


ontic as remedial incurable and sensitive--
later thisness weans fleshing calculus 
definitive amputees litigating where
silence-reality already congests relata
commensurate---


glaring holiday speeches--call the drivel
anarchy somewhere else slept inre those
prosthesis formats--generous talons
definitive from asleep graciously
the apposite--comparative loci--the theatre
once gnashed fending latter footfalls
undulatory recriminations nonetheless
somewhere else those frailty acumen--
ghosts over shelflife--commentaries
however sanitized fending materia mundi---

two in the afternoon illuminates and

infuses the plain colour scheme of dead

washed-out tones that even more dissolve 

clearly the use narration serves the setting

lets you add in black and dusty hues

and other fillers closely working with

our clients to develop content high

in colour photographs you can imagine

courteous turns around the park and move

your fingers through the tape records a common

sense of the cinematic finds you sorting

through cards explaining what we hoped to call

after a sympathetic interview

you’re hired to host an early afternoon

supply-side

remaining famous simply serves the purpose

of agricultural inventiveness

pushing the spinoff merchandise a wider

range of reviewers trying to discover

devices for engaging a clean start

a school for blind commodities directs

machines to little known for fact is at

an early age the coupons in his sister’s   

newsletter blogs for churches where she keeps

her hair tied back in buns with holding savings

plan the burger sales achieve these one

off donations by divesting shares

with the third party we reserve the right

to change our policies at any time

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Omens washed the spit side of an omnibus without our incandescent knowing.

Parchment notwithstanding straight talk nimbles its way forth. Indentured servitude on a taut leash chalked with gray sequins. Rashes of ice lose figure- ground relationship as if any noble carnival were missed. Into the divinity we grow shoulders. Taffeta, remunerative sliced teak, and a voice coach  recuse themselves from honest feed. A realistic painting made of nesting caulks the corner edge, a kind of skin feel to the library. At this point, skipped beats leave the metro(nome) cold wheat. Curated by the seat of panting and retreat. She says she likes a-lonely naptime. Shores are swindled edge about to dis-. Strokes gone staccato vary in intensity called magna carte blanche. Norms repudiate adventure when a middle-aged soprano spoils them back into un-fashion. Remind me to give birth. The satchel full of wilderness sporadically plucks empty space from where no flower ought to grow. Hence becomes the only work worth sifting from a wide expanse of sovereign grass.

Intellectual odd jobs, dignity in pantomime, a resumé resumbling an éclair

Sheila E. Murphy

poem || John M. Bennett

 Sole Dadas, chunk 26

Transduced from Góngora's Soledades

     “See dull air articulate

not son’s dollars’ laggard swerves

     or ester’s miso carved graves,

nor voices of sand, and sand’s son’s dull alms.

     Feels the day too calm,

oh mirror!, queen orthotic’s fez lost all feelings

of too fortunate a mass cake day’s sub haddock.

     “Oh mirror, oh too, supreme

moderator pees from misty dams!:

     tooled serials mist the anus,

on’s table redeemed poked farts,

     of the bubbly Mort,

who’s sere and queasy, in quarry’s peeled leg extreme,

smells the forced, and subs quagmire’s reamer.

     “Regions piss all jeans,

o climate proper, plant mind’s perdition,

     tooled serration of my vittles,

if vittles half dazed my cake’s sea fools

     queen my forced ditch hurled

from its prison, dazing mist containers

and pasta’s toothy hounds massed in cave’s tooth arena.

     “Audacious my pensive mint

the zenith scaled, plunged vestal,

     coiled veil trembled,

if not half dead his number and tooth’s spume,

     of shushed bestial plums

conserved ran to’s deveining

of the anus’ less diaphanous dull vent.

     “Ester, pissed, clopped the mirror

of timer’s alternation means sucking,

     and the backhoe’s mess duration’s

a luster half hatchets my dusty mind,

     soliciting in vain

the alum sepulchre of my hosing

and dons Sol’s navel or’s murmured day’s donned.

     “Molar, enemy amazed,

molar my gulp, and to daze the guard,

     repented tardy

suspect which my murmured hag led,

     wandered not’s low sugars;

o poured briefs, or dribble poured, or poured casts,

languid ants in the jumbled caked laurel.

    “Fragile node your seconds,

or files pungent of homicide’s hair

     finds during all my destiny,

ton’s generous fee, not facile undies,

     nor pokey tear absconds:

the urn soils ocean profound,

and obelisks the mountains seethe, dull mud.

     “Tantric tumulus dribbles,

agreased, Amor, ah my pies errant;

     liquid, pissed, diamonds

called mist weasels, and elevated shimmer

     seals sea, mist not primered

the east’s caked fire’s senseless briefs,

sees hay under mutes and sea’s hay tears the levee”.

Without a Sigh

Blown from seen to scenery in grails of gobbling crews, spewn crusties wax the seventy peas with circus raisins and loosened vowels, masking a maundering fellow’s juridical sentience. Who can tour celestial closets, streaming dusty oxen in feuding ambits of gentle frocks, collapsing into healthy water? Over clay cliffs and into heaving billows of sail, a clock hand tumbles from pendular ponds to crass, carbuncular windings, imprinting on woolen sockets and heated spiels, booting insensate flora through chips of solar myth. Ganging down the upstart blanks, fueling a nebulous cretin with spherical hordes, inflammable peelers impend, screeching on camera, shipping their tumid underarms to ports in unknown centuries, gloving theatrical motes of flotation gig release. Encumbered by speared fleet machines, a state-run lattice sings of saintly hovercraft, glimpsing a nascent felon, cropped entr’acte. Speaking in bent phonemes and rapturous keys, a flagrant suitor imposes wheeled oatmeal on hungry fielders, spinning popcorn into potato chip news. Blurred retainers mire in frozen onset crews, miffed at lackeys, thrown to lionized anodes of despotic churl. Inverted dots embarrass pointed clams with fuel transponders, tackling gypsy coolers, flapping tender grooms above an empty cry. Beaches fly by unadorned, grasping at newly fraught hens, handling under a sand-filled filet of filly cheese, rippling at the stake. Whey tarnishes ungainly crustaceans with dawning surmise, hooting at trusted deer cycles, hosting surly moptop platoons with vast iridium pleas. Tantamount to prized canyons, leggy dandelions defang disembarking dandies, wrenching peat from trackpad glue, returned without a sigh.

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Maybe no more lively than the rest. A patch, yes, sequel to the unborn lanyard. What is there, what is presumed to catch the eye of onlooking observists? Chain cleats in a long row, venturing to Canada, to the U.K., to watch otherwise interred. The lanky celebrants conceal their vigor and their storm surplus awareness in favor of an ardent revelation of the armor. Who has been responsible up until now? All voyaging is strained. And conversation. Let him be awhile. The married man has turned to shelter for his pliant twenty-five year old unseated rival. Yes again. A spate of sentimental value looms. What instrument are you reputed to have played, and why? She is so innocent, your choice. She is a brave young vortex who repeats your zeal.  If anyone protects her, you will seek his banishment. What century are we still in, and are its sentiments a match for your invigorating held beliefs? One poses questions or just poses. What has been imposed is furtive. And the priests, the priests are jealous of your having no known creed. They season how they are and when they work and why the loyalty has outgrown its attendant quirks.

 

Sombrero, overtones, a playing field, redress
