poem || Rhoda Penmarq



narrow ribbon of highway, part 1

louise brooks
john dillinger
john dillinger

"he didn't look anything like i expected"

doctor pepper?
i'll have a coca-cola
in muncie indiana

or lincoln nebraska
john dillinger himself, by god
coca-cola

doctor pepper is all right
knoxville tennessee
mountain dew

lincoln nebraska
knoxville tennessee
muncie indiana

pretty boy floyd passed through
with a bottle of mountain dew
amelia earhart

lincoln nebraska?
moxie!
knoxville tennessee, like i said

we couldn't get out of knoxville
tall cornfields
tall cornfields

an ice chest full of doctor pepper
and coca-cola

poetry || John Pursch

Newsroom Fleas

Herald the launch of diurnal disgrace, 
of inimical flagrancy’s pluperfect festival 
of posturing posies and debutantes from Outer Silesia, 
bred spectral and decaffeinated,
just for floozy consumption. 

Wink at awful sacroiliac kaleidoscopes, 
hopping from paid turbines 
to wickered unguent baths, 
partying to be freed. 

Harken to thematic sunset highland views, 
stitching memories to cover 
phosphorescent yo-yo bling, 
versified in painless plastic cormorants. 

Anger knotted codfish 
in lasting gels of human spinal frocks, 
puttering about, spouting seahorse articles 
from underwater newsroom fleas.


Bunky Cans Peanuts

“Who illness wise half 
egret scoops, Bunkie?” 
Penpal fogs off, 
napping unease timely 
phosphor edging cruelly, 
chrysanthemums minding 
her festooned cartilage swoon.

Aft cars, Bunky wilts 
goner heresy dust, 
enable due chortle 
chum shellfish. 

Known when con bloom 
hem ear undies ether parson, 
wan ire mowing lead 
on sister Hundai.

“By whittle high nose, 
yearly flannel thighs churlish 
wand hive hover scream,” 
Bunky cans peanuts hear, 
slump wire entrée facility 
loaf barely shouts uncrowned.


Clove Repeater Belch
 
Wildly shaken by tournament gyration’s effluvial spittle, theatre awnings hover in preternaturally embossed isthmus paper, dotted with spaniels. Frying twinges of bread line tweed circumnavigate galactic sanctuaries, grinding heated celluloid to finery in fitful escapades of warmly led funeral smoochers, sacking out in backseat surcease. 

Mown hatcheries deputize inflatable cringers to confiscate imploded daffodils from cordoned grief, heaving leonine celery overhead in time-reversal wavelength cheers, plowing warm automata beneath succinctly held newsprint segues. Miners hex expeditionary flossers with incisively spoken baseboard shards, peppering the third base line with fungi. 

Trailers intimate at horticultural malaise, betrothed to clinging arterial numbness, solved in shiny fanfare’s ensuing cavalcade. Shunned timidity’s woozy giraffes peel to hand tattoo parlance, nicking laggards for churlish sponge frames in frantic bile duct alleys. 

Guttural jalopies glower from burbled dawn to shimmying short sleeve somnambulance, wading through chest x-rays, lining up for sleigh bell infusion. Hallowed dweebs glaze cognitive trembling with known erosion’s sinus ointment, slugging down goiter trough slush.

Actuated cylinders peek at cucumber blowhole horizons, blending coveralls with alimentary lucidity in ministrations of filigreed memorial praxis, dominating antediluvian igloos for isometric orgone sepulchers, unscrewed by demitasse quartets in leisure grape compartment mist.

Who shaves denoted phonics, fronting asymptotic beets with espadrilles of tonic footfall grease, jousting tidal imminence within effulgent waistcoats? 

Tense interpreters chaperone impecunious hyphens between inchoate grifters, gumming doorstops with astral auditions of tongue-tied Sephardic satisfaction, carrying diatomaceous fog from vapid underlings to sapiential gallstones. 

Illuminated all-stars scarify a pustule with Steadicam milk-toast segregation tricks, bottling paschal asteroids in bustline shellac for nominally chilled Sufis. Fluky punks deplane at spurned estates, crumple into bedsore enteritis gush, and speckle chimes of chiral guano’s clove repeater belch.

Duchess Porphyry

porphyry quotient
meadowsweet Ganymede
lyre cartel
singsong porphyry
premonitions of thousands greater than soot

cowpoke flatwear
porphyry perturbations
imprimatur blockade
incommensurable porphyry
Virginia, half mill stream, half paper boat, strayed...

caryatid breadth
elapse porphyry
slacks bunny
porphyry quaver
... her papyrus eye to long-bygone gazettes

subrosa porphyry
isthmus switchboard
porphyry curtsy
celebrant finite
silence never goes before as a guide

peril sanctified
porphyry adjacency
glossator passageway
meadowsweet porphyry
our gifts fall cold in places other than the pale

porphyry enquiry
bogus locus
exculpatory porphyry
tabulate forfeit
my dead Spring travels to me from 3000 nights away

genii quaver
porphyry disclaimer
brachiate prayers
heap porphyry
elsewhere doubtless fall the unrepeated, the unnumbered,...

porphyry breadth
elapse monition
conk umbrage
brouhaha porphyry
... and the indivisible... from beneath their press, molten gold?

creamy porphyry
limit crease
porphyry bunny
honey jape
we face each other to say "facing the rising sun"

engine porphyry
halflight disclaimer
porphyry union
sinuosity pivoting
we are reminded skulls, Virginia, are roots, are typewriters

cancel conceal
porphyry locus
duchess fungus
brusque porphyry
nuances struggle against white roses

porphyry crease
fascinate mausoleum
yield porph/ry
incommensurable phoenix
these depths are Space stricken to Her own earth

porphyry grapeshot
leonine curtsy
fillip por/hyry
gangly hyperbole
the winds are recohering this large mystery of world

poem || Lawrence Upton



abundant light

know exactly what
real history counted on

mix styles

trash of creeping

information please

walls collapse around assassins
cameras below sea
filming over evidence of their mouths
think up a snappier phrase

the muscles of their own inclinations
creation saying words are the benefits
pause at the roughly empty room
the benefits of becoming

a pause as dancing indifference sees ahead
a love of their own saying words he gave us

we help ourselves

it isn't our fault the world encounters a grief
to be pulped

eyes creation saying words are much

juxtaposed frosty fissures their mouths uploading

we help god in creation

writing styles

iconoclasts have myths
we destroy all

water's rising
and other evidence
abundant light! we are my eyes of their mouths

3 poems || Volodymyr Bilyk

1
Fur, everybody, Fluff
Fear the Fur of every body
'cause after all
it will be falling 
like fluff
But cut.
like fluff
But Cut

Fool every body that is full
Rap on fullness lushly
Rip all else of eerie sweatdrop
Riff the rough reverie - oddly
Enough! Enough!


2
Saw eeled the knee
To my soil
I'll put a pot
I'll put a pipe

There will be lump
The finest
Playing one

Feet covered with clay
Will do the falling -  
Greatest


3
No. -- ??? (anger) ... ... .. Ah
-- ??? (anger) ...Ah? saneless cool, 
Watch your turn and smile

Water all around - 
with ridges
And Loch Ness
And its spook...

Elliot Ness
Holy Smoke! and Tommy The Gun
Eliot is 
Here Too.

Untouched by water.
Pretty legendary
With the wig
And he's giving the nod to the hat that went off - so he
Rears up
Drooling like lingering crock
Stepping on stool to enchant
'cause the curtain hangs still where his knees are

He looks like Enemy of the state
and those last moments
seen on tv
legs in the sands and the water coming

Gust on gut to tug 
...
Wait a minute, what the hell?

Fight with water
In the name 
of the Law
of the dryNess?

Forgive me 'bout these noises
Ah, Forget it.
