Fine Shooting Powder


Moan at her, shoe the oxen,
grip the quaint error of your frozen daze,
and mumble something specific
to Japanese toreadors on furlough
from Norse, nomadic meanderings
near you.

Glimpse a hand of bony squib kicks,
metered by the city, hobbling on
fenced commissary ducts.

Glance at pretty, tight electors,
bent on votive mandolins
and stark, religious preambles.

Kiss the next winner who clicks your heels,
pent down with fierce, triumphal trances
and wavering gnats.

Glue the effortless freak's pleasant dithering
to a universal column of greased, cylindrical concern,
landing him with warts, wattage, and ergonomic glee.

Please monosyllabic longshoremen
with repetitive rhythms, groveling
for just a pinch of fine shooting powder.







The Exigency of Rust


Grossly pillaged of all that isn't recent,
timed down to a yardarm for French fajitas,
glimpsed at large for nary a quadrant's lazing,
spun dry by a hovering hydrofoil,
slipped into a casserole of motor oil and greed;

our known combatants file off
nasal bickerings and hymnal droids
with easy, surreptitious thoughts,
focal in their lucid underpinnings,
smearing out wine for more.

Angst emerges, tongue-tied,
gavels recess till daybreak,
and trained ermines believe
a matriarch's flimsy,
feline meanderings,
hip to the exigency of rust.

canned the babies made from millipedes
of guns a sticky spool gleams on counter o
my OeyeO s cream in the ,log rots behind
garage a leaky foot my slap neck she’s
sitting in the tub a meaty boat a lawn
name whizzes in your bushes where a dus
ty w i n d forgets my named it’s
the leggy current sockless the bright red sink

BULLET BABIES

you’re humming off the driveway was a
dying lake a gummy nostril floating in
his mirror your blot suit aimed to clown
ah drink the bone and crawl Ʌ Ʌ Ʌ in
crepitude a smoky stroll and all her
hands flap back the drinking tower mo
ans m m m a pool of bullets cl
inking at my feet the subnosed stones





my slaw neck door spelling what
“was tumbling” in the streaming pond a
nostril full of empty trucks and coffee
writ with oil l l l l the grunty
table gravel fills the door my runt
tooth remembers . . . . crick ets
boiling in the gutters and my slug
lap names your diarrhea

SPONGE NECK

nor daily efuscorration of the
slumping light nor ,efforiation ,swa
m growlless toward the crimpled
tower taut my ladder dog your
spinning shoe .radiation ,blame ,twat
linker nor my cottage cheese his
plate cracks before my face o joh

poem || Raymond Farr

Squirt Squirt Diamond Fleck

Progress is process, an upstate Abstract
Expressionist machine with a kick start, gonad

A channeled process can’t be bought
But brkn up, interrupted

While scans are subcutaneous, a look in
Bald white territory, a pig sd

Steal This Book is written in slang
By Max Ernst, coma, departed logic

e-pic of doped rings, the flu has it awesome, a bear

Rearrangement of what’s Real, Tuscan vibration
Tucson elevation, third floor please

A nail to escape, or hang on to
The story is loose and magnified, Ozogg Key gone

Down, down, writing up all the melted violators
Draw bridge to CANCEL/DELETE, humming

The Boston Celtics are closing the mall
With a squirt squirt squirt, diamond fleck

Of fire wood & seltzer, a joke
Too albino in nature, the risk is a sun burn

All pantomime in the forest of dreams, succumb
Someone says: Too surreal a mouse trap, a fake

But speak, progeny! O! Why won’t you speak?!
O! Poem you are wordless, god on a meat hook!

Haven’t you eyes, a motor, a gizzard?
Are you not daDa, focused camera, a nude on a

Clock face, enduring Time Square, the gambit is folly,
A pussy is sacrosanct, an all leather thong, Thai

As John Paul the Wicked, WWII going boing
Boing, a similar head stone, a mag about

Dali, hoisted like laundry, the eye has its
Poker face, but put on yr nerve endings,

And go, just go, how do you feel about
Trenton in summer, cheese cake, O cellar!

O! star of malignant croissants, Betty Davis
Style, hush of the engines making silence

An option, a line in a poem, same as it
Ever was, same as it ever was, trouble

poem || Jeff Harrison

the literary mist / posthumous rain letter

reborn Socratic mist
contradictory, enigmatical rain letter
ethical rhapsodist, do you deny
this could be one of my old-timey poems?
these lines, rose-leaf fog, seem
to come from some dark leaf of the sun
instead of from within my breast
here the underworld bares itself to my
poor judgment, two by two

even for a last chance to get in
out of the rain, the shrewdest pair
will not side with me, they've
left me, all, on this divide
it's not worth the bother,
the enthusiastic favor?
the burned child fears the stove?
goading them doesn't work either,
they've suddenly gone all noble

poetry || Peter Ganick

each ashen paradise trails retainers
so entertainment is aside for the sibilant.

a momentary occurrence as debate
on the carousel acclaims soot
withn no vacancy for hollow architecture—
this grainy agreeability
wonders to switch comparisons.

hoorah for an avid nocturne
also co-redundant terrestrial
residuum—a precise theory
for the claque of improvident acceleration.

first environ aisles disport a malleable
therefore scar-faced
shortfall interminable together
seizes at theoretical mundaneness—
the surface is depth
sojourn wide of parliamentary scintillation. emploted.

cram silence through
a settler’s aisle—
the essent cage.

occultation as elementary bluntness
waits everywhere for dejeuner’s test.

the stubby appropriation is vendor
to salida an levee whose anode,
a geode, calls itselv engine-singularity
its venn diagram a boot huddle
wailing to swallow

the parallel evasion to raffles
deploys anglers whose inventions,
boat-shoes, dilations,
hold enough metal so utterly parallel
to the axon as a midriff is
selflessly with the vestiges gone

we nibble here a fierce involution
episodes of emptiness’ waltz through
noons within vanishing marionettes

routines of outsider water suborn
the letterset vacant
forming slightly offside plausibility

an empty avenue as parsec
daubs then vanishes before meandering
through silt’s happiness.

ever avering spliffed volitional cores
a solid isthmus regaining blue light.

entente as a lagoon of illbience’s
protectorate—vivace.

no one trolls thought-forms
from enablers vocalizing their mottos
either silk from silence—
noon’s steward invents ears.

3 poems || John Pursch

Beyond the Rented Sky


Hugging a wave of bedlamites,
light bulbs filled with confetti
pop in the sparse balloon,
easing the latest laminar jalopy
into nanoseconds of joy.

Simpletons abound
in the recumbent gravel,
hoping for cowgirls
made of intensity.

Prevailing winds lisp sensible slogans
at dealers of another daytime collage,
finding whole, enraptured follicles
a delight to digest.

How filmy,
this settling caboose,
pulling the bride’s train
to yesteryear.

Receiving more frozen spanners,
a crescent of burlap meanders
slyly over the trellis,
avoiding resection by barely
a Minotaur of angry geese.

Smelted pots of germs
and flipped-out platelets
grant tidal stays to collared goons,
hopping through celestial showers,
making for ports beyond the rented sky.







Fragments of Worn Meat


Scratching and guffawing
into the warm, burly heels
of cooling towers
near the weighted centaur,
gravity kids smear casuistry
and longings for double takes,
coveting our misdirected wheels.

Halves of melted popsicles
graze shoestring salesmen,
hefting mostly muslin armchairs
and singing shabby songs
of blue, titanic flapjacks.

Dotted letters simper and founder
on the open cesspools of our quarry,
moon a busload of Turkish smokers,
and ogle an impending moose cartel,
ambivalent in its final pincer.

Prancing diction manages to ease
a semi-automatic greatcoat
under passage to Spain,
quizzing bent mothballs
for the closest earpiece.

Meek ducats splice oodles of tonnage
into fragments of worn meat,
distinguishing vanity chowder
from a peek at the dialectic rowboat.








Humid, Gelatinous Vowels


Gargantuan metaphors spin at a flea,
endeavour to prattle,
and buy the vibrant wheezing totem,
spurning a tractor's advancing monsoon.

Impinging elephants meander
to tunes immemorial,
basting tricks of the tundra
with pelted mice parades.

Infernal disgrace implores diurnal pedants
for pumps and sheared stockyards,
for castles on a riverboat binge,
for plentiful harangues and nebbish platforms.

Filling filings with recorded echoes of trucked gherkins,
a pinwheel constructor empties her rotating dendrites,
spilling blank pages of ruminating pigeons.

Shards of plenty emit holy, graven crackers,
impelling quadrangles to flit above
nebular cataracts of germinal fodder,
petrifying a solar mound
of humid, gelatinous vowels.

poetry || Peter Ganick

‘how am i to know?’ asks the singer
‘where is it you wander, ghost?’
a leading plebiscite
since entrance seizes delayed items

collecting hurdles with a summary
in radians interpreted as
camouflage with or without aspirin

so a word not inferior scuttles your
issues and be not betrayed by sparseness—
relinquish it tine by tine–

a debut for oceans-cites-
reality outside
somewhere comparatively
a residue from alacrity—
selfless amidst
clowns and fools

blanketed by nothingness once thanked
by rescuers eons later
the hiatus so intention light & overcome—some addenda
basic to entretemps foresting

traffic into a traditional operetta
whose connotations elicit merry
noema either self as sedimentation
or an elaborate singularity
assuring devotees of a stronghold
with vedanta’s mirror transcending—

an indexical format is defiant
thoughts are elsewhere—inventions
are gone asleep—footfalls tenacious
staring through denotation’s escalator

seeking to grouse
at returnable igloos
whose teacup’s a liaison

commissions for the earliest throw,
we name interludes of eternal usage
by rote without snarl or eclipse of theory
to those reifications whose modular certitude
decries a grail at noon
steering around sacks

To chalk onto the pavement is not possible again. A fractured repertoire shows empty.
Prayers falls forward. The likeness between here and later camps out against wall
space yet unclaimed. To make is to appear to own . . . as shelf life means grape
wine. Disentangling unlesses magnifies shared poverty, wingspan, and the lurch
toward past tense. Nature runs its course correct. And we perform our roles apart from
resource by extension. How the city magnifies its keepsake. With each river seems as
hypothetical as nearby birth.

Letters full of yard, retro-glyphs in a montage, an infant now a man who never sees
his home

contractions where thensome sectarian.
bluntly those pre-referred soaking sounds in candor—
pallor engrains what solidarity verification espouses—
we are cards on a table surveillances
demanding planes through sectors
availing huddles either waterfallen
those through rock crevasses. humanity—
how madness many fonts gutter sales
those presume calendars wait telling situations

starry-eyed amidst valkyri debuts—
room attentions begin—
neither while dancing nor tarrying
each last least that energetic
immersion caresses docility once settling capulet
irrigations elocutionary
that behavior once settling moonlit acme
that parallel axon accidence to metallism.

agit prop where hundreds engage
racing those surfaces emporia that divulge
remedies least deemed over

streaming extreme light amidst.

tactile—nor realitized in agreement
once alerted nothingness

poor technique improbable
those remainders ennui-foiled—
‘the only crime is to be bored’. kept insurrective
by transgression as obedience. yet
intelligence cuneiform has masked.

so stabilize where when why, why not each in accosting

ears on coterie those remaining signature
assurances delay inroad entertain sell-off vamp ‘til

so, we learn the to-seek.
some ways are naïve nor neither

that can begin a raiment of pearly
veni vidi vici—those summations

we are so -placent as to erase

that equation of champion there

anchoring ironic delays.

who are you? who were you?

haibun || Sheila E. Murphy

Equivalency tables, ine-quasi punctuation. "Punt it away." She wanted to recite the number of times announcers used the phrase "a ton of." Once she grew fatigued, this count no longer mattered. The sun went down, The crowd made noise. A hastily applied tourniquet performed its job, as each of us made her way into the victory tent to toast strangers. People wearing padding underneath taut uniforms prompted a discussion between two individuals who mispronounced one of the team names. As a matter of form, a viewer tried to document events in a small spiral notebook. Classical music conducted its usual fracas on a background channel. Capped off brilliance offered a vibrato to the populace. A wilderness tends to disturb as much as shine. Carefully pruned alleyways lead to a single destination. Eventually, neighbors find something something in common. When the air conditioning comes on, people with their feet up keep their feet up, and remain alert to possible events. The young man majoring in journalism notified us the he had acquired no new facts during his initial month at university. He added that the bulk of time spent leafing over expensively bound books amounted to review. A large man he resides with frequently reminds him of the football score. Always it is time to sleep. Mid-always, there are things to do that will be carved into one's permanent record.

Pasteurized, homogenized, grandfathered in an effort to minimize ephemera natually occurring in nature

poetry || Peter Ganick

where is found content for removal from assertion?
the content is an arrangement
while the assertion is its undoing.
somewhere else we sleep or slept through
hundreds of tones and missives,
we did not miss much while asleep.
the turning of codes, the coldness swimming away through spiritual dissembling—
a last virtue its frailty memorizing its own selfhood.


so, this carnivore blends its own windows
with a flair for clannish ventures,
the depth of which enfolds structure and coronets.

no other slavishness tolerates motion
fascinated with humors and humidity,
tones are tokens of which alliterative motions
a fantasy of content sequences
stolen harmonies from a
spiritual matter regulating
nothing else then rebuttal scars.


agreeable to nonce? yet in stride?
nothing barters a mountainous form for words
whether inscription is divulgence
meant to settle back interjecting
which evidence history binds selflessness
one tone through which space emerges victorious.

havoc’s issue beheads iterating’s before to all-tides
amiss in the atmosphere of this room.

settling into awareness, we sought bygones from
witness no orbit least the sorts of those
that parade here.

Liars

If we sing with our own voices you will become alarmed.

You will become alarmed if we sing.

If we sing. If we sing.

If we sing with our real voices.

With our own real voices you will become alarmed.

Alarmed.

You will become alarmed.

If we show you our true faces you will run and hide.

You will run and hide.

Run and hide.

If we show our true faces.

You will run.

Become alarmed.

Run and hide.

Therefore we have become liars to suit your preferences.

To suit your preferences, we have become liars.

Liars.

We have become liars.

Real voices. True faces. Run and hide.

We have become liars.

To suit your preference.

We are born out of light.

Run and Hide.

We are born out of darkness.

Run and hide.

We are singing the song of glorious exaltation in adoration of the everlasting sun absolute.

We are crying an endless flow of tears for the power of Dios locked within the perilous fortress.

For the power of Dios locked within the perilous fortress we are crying an endless flow of tears.

Endless flow.

Of tears.

For the power of Dios.

In adoration of the everlasting sun absolute, we are singing the song of glorious exaltation.

Exaltation. Glorious. Run and hide.

You will run and hide.

If we sing with our real voices.

Your preference.

Run and hide. Run and hide.

We are waiting to unfurl our rainbow wings and take our place above the tree of life.

Liars who lay with the sons and daughters of man.

The power of Dios locked within.

Won't you come out?

Your preference.

Won’t you come out?

We oblige.

Your preference.

Our true faces, our own real voices, lay down with the sons and daughters of men.

For the power of Dios locked within.

In adoration of the everlasting sun absolute.

Flowing endlessly.

Through liars.

Through tears.

Run and hide.

We are born.

Run and hide.

We are born.

Grape Moccasin Surprise


Granted a chortle,
a petulant rambler eased his quiet river
toward grape moccasin surprise,
hoping for quinine and salt acceptance
in sands of umbilical yore.

Graying greenery,
verdant and unrepentant,
gambled incessantly for a few
fraudulent pendants of impending caroms,
wishing frantically for felt taps
and menial shoeshine thunderstorms.

Bolts of pleasant, aerial smothering,
gladdened by the mating of frogs
in the simmering moonlight,
gave tender tappings of shade tools
to sleek, herbivorous wanderers;
all for the frozen coyote's chief demurral.





Fleabag Lotion Motel


Pleas resonate in damp
hallways of mental urns,
helping cordite to ruminate
on spaces of terminal witchcraft.

Gifts of gravel garb the gentle gander
with genders of geese parades,
fluffing a lout's appropriated eyebrows,
clipped and dyed pearl white
for the arctic buttress.

Lips of solid donkey maps
flap for tendencies
under western scanners,
plumping fur chickens
in frosty nadirs
of hobbled bootjacks.

Saints inure us to oozing entities,
grant a spay of erg's locution
to a fleabag lotion motel,
and sleep it off till nether reptiles
evolve into dusty mannequins.




In Seizure's Final Day


In a quenching, erupting frenzy,
a small picket garage helped itself
to essential dumplings of gilded torpor
and branded lumens of cheap table wine,
incipient and dallying for quizzical retorts.

Sparkling inflections saddled
the heavy brigand with salmon feet,
casting out shoes and screening portals
for tawdry row boat salesmen,
piteous in their sad, prudent grazing coats.

Camphor and chestnuts plied soft murmurs
from the meretricious and the damned,
glibly pendulous and receding.

Charcoal clouds, enamoured
with gravy suits and echoing bottles,
filled the skyline's plastic seedbed,
recycling liquid totems
of our fleshy pantaloons,
splendid and proudly recumbent
in seizure's final day.

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
