Before the Firing Squad
“Before The Firing Squad”
the firing squad
came dressed
in faux smiles
the intervention cake
was spoon fed, like honey,
by mother superior
to the lesser bee,
with self-righteous
magnanimity
she wore the badge
Devil’s Advocate, proudly,
without any clear authority
casting bloodied
nasturtiums around the...

Mimi and Mary T
Mimi and Mary T.
By
M P Walsh
It was 25 December,
And a snug-warm Christmas day.
The temp was over 50,
The weather: bright, not gray.
But a sadness on this Sunday fair
Perplexed me...what was wrong?
As I left the cape with...

The Little Fir Tree
There was a plantation of fir trees
for some unknown reason, most of them
were three to four years old but one,
it was only in its first year of growth.
When Christmas drew near, the loggers came

Never Land Part 5
A lad is stopped by roving cops, who shoot in disregard.
His face is black, he’s on his back, a breeze is breathing hard,
he bleeds and dies, his mama cries, the screaming sky is scarred,

Through Mother's Eyes - By Jim Grant Sularz
With my first soulful breath,
it was Mother’s eyes I saw.
She counted my tiny fingers and toes,
leaned gently to kiss my brow.
Announcements sent out right away,
my name chosen so carefully.
The name, I think, a famous General’s...

Majesty of Spring’s Tapestry
Meandering meadows broken by a tossing garbling brook…boulders embossing...marbling and moss flossing
Awoken whispers spoken..cantankerous coughing eddy wheezes..then a curmudgeonly icy mirror hush
Reckoning breezes yield cats' paws beckoning…teases across the flanking field
Fairies’ wield spells conveyed in...

The Haunting
"The Haunting"
What happened
was a crime
in more ways
than one
who can understand
the mind of a recidivist
twisted, calculating
in this story, there is
more than one,
the night
of a thousand
cutting knives
the turn of the...

Your Words, Your Voice
So it finally tracked you down.
The sting, the rush, the nods all caught up
Added up
To three days alone with no resurrection.
The cross to bear was all yours,
All ours,
Now.
Your words, your voice filled my life for...

Voila Part I
Both of us vacationed at the same resort.
Had rum vis-a-vis. Mediocre story.
One night you offered me and friend to escort
To music bar du jour. I won't be sorry.
We met when for both of us life...

Percussion plays once in a while beyond its curtain

To meet those friends I used to know.

When we were young with spirits high.
But, all I found was a money speech
Asking for me to...

The Grief of Gaziantep
The Grief of Gaziantep.
Hotter than a Dragon’s kiss,
the seas boil under saffron sun.
Tiny thrumming mosquitoes zone on sweating, caramac skin,
Customer entertainment...hanging from shop fronts,
nine carat gold cages lure buyers in,
imprisoned, flush-red faced finches,
wings of...
