"I come from mountain stock, and I can confirm
that death slithers in like the fog at Craggy Mountain.
Surrounds the bed on his time, pulls himself up,
and sweeps over the trails, hills, and valleys of the body
until it covers the mouth."

"I love the language that’s yet to be born. you are loose with your words, mouth a saturnalian red. a shadow in a ring of dust. your kiss a lesion I can't quite cast shadows on. a scar in the shape of your mouth, the open door where the fire escaped."

"we’re the kids who’ve come to take our town back
ready to break bones and glass with our old metal bats
strike the county commissioners outta here
till Hub City flickers free again"

"You and I really aren't so different after all". Same stuff in us. Darkness, light, regret, hope, high wire, tight rope. Words cut us open, dreams spill out. Laughter is shared. Tears and fears. Same stuff, all around. Pass your stories round the fire. heroinchic.weebly.com/

"Price is Right. Ceiling fan. Screen door. Sun beam. Warm floor.
Static. Hum. Siren. Siren. Siren. Scanner. Click. Code. Call.
News. Who? Up the road. Code.
Static. Static. Wail"

"I was still learning / my heart wasn't open yet", and then one day it does, and no matter how much you might will it so, you just can't seem to close it again. It all comes tumbling out, so much feeling, where else can you put it but the page?

"I put on skin. I take off
skin. I put on snowflakes. I put on sea glass. I put
on river rocks and ocean brine. I put on starfish
arms. I put on salamander tails. I put on crab
shells of every size, just in case."

"I used to pull petals off of flowers
in a field by my house. Behind the old
fire station and next to the cemetery
where my dad mowed the lawn... it’s hard
when you’re 5 to know God’s the flowering
and not a thing who could love you or not."

Our EIC, James Diaz, will be reading their poems next Friday, June 19th, from 6 to 8 at Otto's Shrunken Head on the lower east side for Adverse Abstraction along with two other fellow poets! Come on out if you're in the area, and end the long work week with some poems.

"There’s work to be done. Open
that box of secrets and forgive
each desire that wrecked you.
There’s a river in you. There’s a fist
willing to unclench, an open
hand you can offer back
to yourself. Once you find
it, you can give it away."

"Let there be no more struggle", but while there is let us share it amongst each other. Hand to hand, let us pass it down the line until each voice is heard and each pain told. That life breaks us is known, but that it sweetens also with the company you keep...

"Sleep my sweet child
Rest soundly and dream of beautiful things
You are my heart, you precious fragile bird.
And this is the home I’ve made for you, for us, to be safe."
