Premium Member Collar III - Louise Giovanelli
Cover the clavicle with the collar, urgent, decisive, a signal of intent. Insufficient means of transformation aren't new. It's the operating room for the untrained, problem to solution with just a thin veil, a change of outward appearance. You're the fixer and the fixed. Blue veins are a...

Why Your Cities Burn, Part III
...Gobayth’s mind was nearly crushed, this was his life now, it appeared, and all sorts of depressing thoughts flooded his mind that first half-year. Was this what life was really like for most of the souls in this world? An endless, unpaid drudgery, with slashing whips always unfurled? Was this how ‘settled’ people lived? Is so, then why bother with life? How could those outside...

Autobiography of John Sidney McCain III, Sometime Senator of Arizona
1. To Fly My father was an admiral, and so I joined the Navy. Back in fifty-eight to be a pilot seemed the way to go: ship-sailors were committed to a crate. Scrub decks? Paint rusting gunwales? That’s a ‘no’. The Skyhawk was my weapon (and my fate!) 2. Rubicon Crossing Some nations follow rainbows, I am told: we thought, in Vietnam, ‘search and...

Still Blinking III
First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...

Minnesota III
Moist sheets tossed aside soaked pillows Side by side single mattress She was exposed drippings Dime sack and tree rings brittle snowcats Green sight meet brown peepers Plumb late April Boreal Plains humidity Abittor Unami eau de cologne electricity Thin plain pink blanket on the window Air conditioner recirculating Salmon rays preen her face Noon spring afternoon the rain stopped the sun...

Conquered, Part III
...And come the day she had free reign, provided she not leave, no heavy tasks upon her, she had worked more while still free. She explored the whole of the keep, she ready his ancient books, went down to the kitchen and gossiped freely with the cooks. She recognized this wasn’t what she thought had been in store, and honestly,...

note the nothingness of the tag yet so much time was spent gazing, observing each inhalation, exhalation ~ each held breath ~ not disturbing her rest. love learns no more. she once had a name. perhaps it was unimportant in the end. love learns no more. "unimportant" ~ a title that occupies such space, especially when it’s breathed in, embedded into the lungs. muse turned subject turned...

My Crooked heart PT III
My will to leave, my bliss, For I searched for me. I have seen me, When no mirrors comfort it. That voice, that plays with soul. A place so cold, But I hold to hope. I’m tired of feeling so stiff, My mind wanders like a thief who seeks. Am I but a man lost indeed? My childhood plagues my grief. Wars within my thoughts, My mind...

What will it look like when the skies are beaming red When you looking for your siblings and find them burning dead Will the wildlife cease to exist when the bombs and firepower fail to desist How close are we to an inevitable end When our love for people no longer makes them friends If only we could learn to love rather than dropping...
