A Stolen Memory
A Mirthful Chorus
By Sy Roth

Asked to let go.

Unshaven sandpapery skin
Eyelids a tabula rasa
Fluttery sere skin
And we could see the humor blossoming in his...

Silence
I’ve dreamt often that she crept deep
Into my cellular structure,
Some time in the nightfall of my being
And planted deeply into my mitochondrion,
A magical silence pill,
Drowning the kittens of...

Entrance Into the Garden of Eden An Exit Oft Repeated In Four Acts
Entrance into the Garden of Eden
An Exit Oft Repeated in Four Acts
By Sy Roth
Act 1—Somnolence
Smells of winter tickle a warm sun.
Crisp air,
Red, brown and yellow leaves,
Thrust the trees aside for their impending sleep.

A Horn and Hardart Story
A Horn and Hardart Story
By Sy Roth
It begins with buttons,
ivory buttons,
Pearlized pieces--
Not the plastic crap,
Over-industrialized flotsam
that adorns clothing these days—
Eager hands fluttering like twin doves in flight,
Delivered buttons.
His effort earned him...

A Memory

Resting In Benign Pleasure
Resting in Benign Pleasure
By Sy Roth
They watched me,
Waiting for a segue.
Continuously gazing at me
A waxen bowl of fruit
Tantalizing,
Clinging to my every move
Like lichen on the leeward side of an ancient oak,
Like...

Bullwhip Bob
Bullwhip Bob settled in the cafe
and ordered fried spuds and beef.
A railroad man in Bingham’s Town,
he came here each noon to eat.
He’d gotten his name not for his job,
but because each and every day,
he went...

Miss All That At the Chili Cook Off
Miss All That (MAT) came in all prissy; serious cooks laughed a scoff.
Dare this woman think she’d make the finals in the ultimate cook off?
Something wrong with her we decided; her waist was too thin...

Residents of a Fevered Brain
Residents of a Fevered Mind

I took the road more traveled--my mistake
Thought I could hide among the masses
Fully expecting that someone might pluck me out,
And I would endure in their sunlight forever.

Apocalypse
The challenging quests
of my dreams
did not discourage me
from continuing to believe
So I am reverting,
as in my most lucid nightmares
I entered the toxic realm
surrounded by the scent of gore
I could feel ~ I could smell
the ominous...

Two Sisters
Deafening Silence
By Sy Roth
Are they going to die like that
Buried under the silt of time with it all unresolved?
Are they a ribonucleic disaster, a broken string of DNA
Deposited in a weary, weeping womb?...

A cache of nails
To drive into their coffins

First-Person Personal
First-Person Personal
By Sy Roth
Here adrift wrapped in a coat of heebeejeebies
Fearful of using the first-person personal
Masking it instead by holograms of itself,
Playful non-entities cavorting among the semi-living.
Used to squirrel the words away like nuts now...

The Boys In the Back

Then another willful rotation
Until the bubbling chicken-fatty waters splashed over the sides
While the boys in the back did their algebraic calculations

All the Mad Hatters
Madness, the Mad Hatter blinks.
Madness, Oz's link.
Repercussions of concussions.
Madness was Portnoy's Complaint*,
Madness must reciprocate!
Hallucinations filter by
Leary* winks at Dali's eye.
A house lands on the wicked witches thighs.
Chicken Little wanders by.
"Madness," Hitler's...

Two Dogs At the Gateway
Two Dogs at the Gateway
By Sy Roth
They slurped their saliva,
huge globs,
big, barking mouthfuls
dripping from their jowls like milky icicles
Teeth-bared lips,
They guarded the gateway.
Pleased by their vacated spittle,
their noses now sniffed the air,...
