Send a Paper Plane to the Gods
In two weeks, the Loy Krathong will begin. 12th in the Lunar calendar, atone for a sin. Floating specks, like us but in the sky. The stars or the lanterns; fault of the eye. To beg for forgiveness to an imaginary friend. Hence the offerings galore faithful until the end. No one has seen Or known our humanely ruin; but we have fantasized. We still have mosaics, delusions, excuses, never considering if they were lies. There is...

Exiled At Home
Here I am standing in this secluded space with the pillow of hope hanging over my face, I cannot go backward or forward, I am backed up into this corner with my hands tied and destiny dragging my feet as I struggle to break out of this exiled home. I came from out of...

who's counting bridges in shiny town the air-cutting sirens sound closer today and newsmen run to compile their shows around the sidewalk sleepers trucks reversing shout their intent to ear-phoned hoodies and baggy jeans swinging necklaces of vape machines these eyeless rats they scurry shop doors suck and spew their prey where round white gum stains every step and windows stack like giants high sit suits...

jampacked city streets that jangled and banged in the raucous jarring day shifted from business to boogaloo squeezing into moonlight party lights gin and lime-kissed gimlet sequined dress strutted in studded six-inch heels riveting flair provoking jive and jazzy nights to tame this lion of New York The bed swallowed the evening sucked-up in slumbered sobering snooze exhaling the drunkard’s stench while the warmth of whiskey and you next to me laid dreamy still popped up...

Workday
While adults are bound by the obligation of work The children get caught in the routine of school All are engaged through the days of the work week To earn a living or prepare for the work life ahead After the weekend of rest, fun, and labour The body is forced back into that same routine...

The Helix of Eden
I am walking in the garden of an ancient city The walls are covered with climbing ivy of a delicate hue The dews are thick after the warm rains There in the middle, the stately statue withstands the stains Covered in ivy of a intricate green Blooms of unknown life glowing red I trace the path of last foot falls The age...

Nshima
The belly filler The palm feeler If five fingers are not busy It is not good The must-have Or else you starve It's the food that gets you tizzy It will spark your mood It is called by its name Partaking of it is no game If it does not require a whizz It is not food...

Sambal Tumpang
Sambal Tumpang Disana Disana, dicabang cabang pohon kedelai Yang daunya gatal setengah mati Tumbuh buah buah yaitu biji-biji Dikupas direndam diragi jadilah tempe Tiga hari jadilah busuk Ditanak digerus lalu direbus Dengan bumbu-bumbu Rempah Dan santan kelapa tua Aku menyukai garam yang asin Jauh lebih asin dari lidahmu Tambahkan sayuran rebus Bayam Kecambah, daun kunci atau tidak ada daun kunci Maka kembang keturipun jadi Lalu tuangkang sambal kacang Kemudian tutuplah...

Premium Member Suburban Saturday
It's Saturday in suburbia U.S.A. Lawn mowers buzzing, chores underway Planting and pruning, nourishing flowers that will bloom To announce and brighten the month of June Contented cats perch on fences high Loftily appraising the collared dogs led by To the dogpark, filled with Frisbees and tennis balls A meelee of fur, a Fido free-for-all! Teenagers holding signs - for a small fee,...

Cloves In Oranges

Home Like dry bones I thirst for home My body loans for a place Where everything seems normal A place where the red sky meets the sun burnt ground A place where you hear the sound of wild horses that roam without care. A place that dares to stair at your emotions. A place of...

Wish-Full Thinking
I wish that nothing ever changed That is impossible People changes People leave And sometimes you are left with no explanation at all People make promises they never intended to keep Like the guy in the Park telling the girl that they would be toghter forever Or maybe they could have been if things were to stay the same If noting ever changed If...

Premium Member We Celebrate the Flag
We Celebrate the Flag By Franklin Price 6/14/2016 We celebrate the flag today Long may it wave above It represents the U.S.A The country that we love Fly it proudly, fly it high Don't let it touch the ground Honor and salute it As long as you're around Those who would degrade it Bring dishonor to its name Do not deserve to live here To respect it's not...
