I try bleaching the sun
using liquid soda crystals
but the sky turns yellow too

breathe and /hold
lungs and belly
moon balloon full
TWO POEMS – Patrick Landy
the slow inflections of the wind
where rivers run like scars.

in the blackened air, halved and emptied, decaying since dusk

Here lie abandoned gyro crusts and Bundt cake crumbs.
Your fingers shine with olive oil grease
ONE POEM – J. Freeborn
I dreamed of teeth
cracking teeth walnut
shells my cheek
hot on your back

waking
at midnight
to piss
on the sand dunes
and the sky overhead
like a badly
scratched frying pan.

THREE POEMS – Susan Moon
My mother packed eggs sunny side up,
Spam slices golden-browned to perfection
tucked into my lunchbox.

The angel comes unbidden
on a Thursday morning,
knocking briskly, handing me
a pineapple and thirteen coral-tinted roses.
ONE POEM – Sidrah Zubair

to feel sorry for myself?

we presume her dead

scattershot of matter sinking deeper than cameras
