"horizon filled with ground-up bones - from one failed relationship to the next - with rotting carcasses of jacked deer and discarded dead pets - flickering tongues like pine needles burning - is it funny is it a sad wreck? - do you remember why you never escaped from here? - you creep beyond the borders of your season - all the basements filled with water or with bones - He willed the ocean to approach and willed it back - lying on my back mouth open to the sky - for a red red snowflake to seize the day..."

NEW! Happy Fall from Thirteen Myna Birds!

Happy Fall from Thirteen Myna Birds!

"This is the hope of lizards and birds when they hold still in a hand, the endless hope - we have nothing else - I am unwell - Pink foam explodes from my head - to always appear kissable depends - Soon I’ll be recycled - my hard drive’s caught a nasty virus - It mentions changes that require more evaluation - Tick-ridden, each word - an electric cigarette - she remembers the rage in his body..."

"The moments creep by like clouds, chess pieces, cattle - There stood death in a t-shirt that said smile - waiting for me to escape this nightmare - now that I have nose-ringed you - seagulls scream over the ocean - an all out unstoppable global nuclear holocaust - I have all these scars on my head, see? - that demon that is inside me - as if he is putting on a mask - earth’s ruling families await you with stinger, wing, mandible and claw"

Poetry/art by Michael Grover, Nanette Rayman, Stephen Mead, Mish, Valerie Loveland, Gabriel Ricard, Ivan Peledov, and Mitchell Krockmalnik Grabois.

"By moonlight the tarantulas’ bodies would spell out words - What will forges such purple twists - angels wings over x rays - The monster inside me got surgery to remove the monster inside her -Her stinking dandelion-cussed, blood-sopped Snot-bedaubed self - Her white and blue halter top falling saggy ripped to her gut - from one end of hell to the backwards interpretation - One girl raised the dead - found in the dusty heart of a dead coyote - Your melting pot is a pressure cooker - My leg is a barn and the horse who lives inside has broken his leg - Full of meaningless words and Invented histories of gnarled trees - I write under the moon Trying to outlast the slow drowning..."

"Birds that hadn’t learned to fly yet were about to be hauled away in trucks - I woke up screaming like a Barbie with no head and whose Dreamhouse is under water - soaked through and through with debris and fish feces - a shortage of coffins - The Pope shakes in awe by the power of the chainsaw - I’m lost in the narcissistic membranes of brain synapses that pay me no mind - like the cave in your head - presiding over its own prolonged rebirth - Maybe I should ask for help. I just don't know. It’s all a bit of a blur - The only thing that has ever made one iota of sense to me is the art and the art never fails me even when I fail myself"

"I wake each morning with a painful thrill - a dead dragonfly pinned to the black felt of a shadow box - The tracks, tiny tunnels to his heart - all plugs connected to the socket - The glass eyes ready to drop out; fearful of fate - packets of white crystal neurological agents of sweetness used in civilian warfare - High voltage lines, a thousand stinging scorpions - colors bleed onto the customer’s skin - they save the world and i brood - gape gray"
