Julia Barnard

Sofia’s love was like a viking as she tore apart
       She grappled with her demons as she swept each basking heart
A gangster fairy tale betrothed upon her arm 
      A fleeting evening and a trip out of the dark 
 Four hundred dollar bills as token of your love
      The glamour and the fame; the glitter and the game
If one could bear the grime and snare 
       Of the homestead that she came to bare
You would still pay for her charm

Shiloh

Valerie Garman entered the world upon the tail-end of the upper-middle class

A place where the schoolgirls were tantalisingly innocent and the men were
Increasingly unbecoming

The sidewalks gleamed and the church bells rang
The winters snowed and the summer birds cooed in unison

The earth was lain with the vinyl siding of the haves and the discarded Marlboros of the have-nots

Yet this shall not be a tale of social woe; there will be no east egg and no west

And though Valerie Garman acquired her footing along the gleaming concrete Of the suburban streets

She came of age in the darkness.
And though Valerie Garman took heed of the silver spoon
She came to life on the business-end of a silver straw, shortly thereafter.
