Joel Chace - Home: The Plague Year
In the loved place. _______________________________________________…during which one
realizes that people
with money are the favored
in life’s competitions.
Keeping wanting. Sibling _____________________________________________ …a goad that practices
on you and you
can’t get rid of…
in
the loved place. Keeping to
leave. Sibling ___________________________________________________…what a strange creature…
says,
“Stay in darkness. ___________________________________________________…has always got there
first, and is waiting.
Eat.” Sibling’s invitation.
In place _______________________________________...elementary
realities reveal that
are not confined…that they
partake less than the nature
of being than that of
language and can compel
whatever is beside them
to speak…of an
unforeseeable future.
“Stay. Consume. Eat
darkness. ____________________________________________________________This is the story…in
a cave.…head
encased in concrete.
All of it.”

Heath Brougher - Three poems
1. Pain(ed)ful M(endacious)emories
(a response to the murders of George Floyd and Jacob Blake)
L(unatic)aw enforcement slices up African ribs for lunch ,,
s(ickly)lave o(minous)wners reduce the lives of the o(h no!)wned—
the lives protesting peacefully to s(lither)mithereens ,,
the invisible power of destructio(fficer I can’t breathe!!)n is destroying lives
like the psychotic machine it is!!
gor(e)geous & ab(lunt object to the head)undant
as a cop, I mean, a cup fulla copper::.***
2. Emo(ticon)otive
Toe(WARD)s S(WOLLEN)uch TOADS ,,
. , * ; 🡪
or bu(ilt)ullshit
trip(ping)t lift(ilting)ed off the ground ..
FlicKKKKKKKKKKK🡪E🡪RRRRRRRRRRRRR
how many cans ? how many magnets ?
[I might climb
the grass 🡪
children climb through thr(alls)ongs of glass];;.***
3. Non
I like
to come
as close
to nonexistence
as possible
and
tap
it
right
on
the
shoulder.
