i am smoke
wrapped around a slight form
you thought was whole
silhouette fading into the gloaming
inhaled and held
less than that
no more

i open the window
we breakfast slow
with the scent of hyacinth, tea and rain
delft blue patterns the radio song
broken by a hundred tiny horsemen
stampeding from the garden
across the kitchen sill
a welt of hooves through the morning news

@seanmaguire77 thank you Seán

Tamped down to a nub, your shine is almost incomprehensible. Allow me the pleasure of knowing you at full throttle, set yourself free.

written above
a tombland sword
with picture
fields and
older memories of
passing through
telephone dreams
it's no use
disguising night's drama
i know it is you

A limelight lookout
Deer o dears caught unaware
We're sliding sideways
Looking for loopholes in time
Second hands in old bookstores

It's what makes us tick
Secrets hid between the lines
Merging in moments
If we're composed upon stars
Reading the rhythm that's ours

I've discovered our dissipation
rounds out about a solid forty-seven
yards, a radius manageable

horizontally (our purview--
not vertically, as one may think)
your concrete image: the split atom

known is forgotten--
relearned in departure

[Micro Tommy @micro_tommy]

my fix comes unexpectedly
and it ratchets through
the indelible zigging and zagging
inside my upper arms

a soothing and exhilarative
eck-stassy, gloating
for its very own, internal
racing breath of pleasure

wondering: what else is there

a boat, left to float
on starless sea
where darkness is loud
and silence rests
in heart’s depths

Dear Editor

You’ve read enough badass bitch stories. Of this I’m sure.

But you’ve never read one written by one like me. Of this I’m abso-fucking-lutely sure.

‘Annification & Other Things’ is attached. Read & be transformed. You won’t look at ‘em the same again.

[Out of the Blue @BlueHaiku2]

In a nest of stars
the blue egg rests
and from a tiny hole
a golden glow emits
from wings yet to unfurl.
