Wash Me by Ellen Donbeck

No Comments 19 February 2009

Breathless, I awake to strangers Only wearing shoes and socks   Needing nothing more, I rise Leaving Nothing behind   No mark of a passionate tryst That may or may not have occurred Only inside my head So often described by others as sensitive   I’m thinking so much My head might detonate   So [...]

Sexadrenalin and Rockets Red Glare by Carlos Detres

No Comments 18 February 2009

Burst open the bright blue sky with neon lights As scared soldiers scurry beneath you skirt Bring in the dirty money Bring in the dirty freedom America, America, America.   You shining disco ball of sexual repression and fever. When you were born, Your ragged mango flavored sex was nothing but a sore spot. Sore, [...]

zeitgeist by Yonacito

No Comments 12 December 2008

I am afraid of life my body trembles as I stir the cauldron of anticipation a fractured thought is all I can muster, a thousand paths to imitate a breath and a word consciousness on a thin layer of glass, so fragile, ethos of an era. failure of flesh and mineral, once arable now devoid [...]

Curious by Yonacito

No Comments 09 October 2008

every man wishes to be cut from the pages of his life even if it means being torn in tiny increments and be left with a jagged border filaments on your skin as flesh touches flesh whisking you away that day, in seconds on the second floor  of that grimy, scummy club flesh splattered against [...]

Tuesday Night Olas by Darien S Mytryshyn

No Comments 17 September 2008

The few feet of sand have been Whored out By restaurants, bars and novelty shops.   Its night now And I can spot a tranny Walking down the street with her John.   I pass a guy playing guitar And tell him his tone is too high He tells me to fuck off  And I [...]

Oxymoron by Anonymous

2 Comments 18 August 2008

as I watched the blood orange sunrise break over the filthy dashboard and me a moment of clarity passenger seat of a coconut and caramel bronco, beat to hell by city driving and unconcern, dents like battle scars with ruddy rusted edges flaking like the sunset of a sunburn and leather with imprints of lost [...]

Iris Circle, Again by Tony O’Neill

No Comments 07 August 2008

I awoke from a nightmare of my own devising and came back into the one we shared: it was 4am and she was next to me overdosing on cocaine she shimmied and shook, naked and smeared brown from the previous night’s frenzied, compulsive injecting eyes rolled back into her head arms twisting at arcane spastic [...]

Leaving By Train by YH Etheart

No Comments 31 July 2008

The light dances upon the waves drawn down decrepit landscapes and amid the cacophony spiraling my ears (glorious soul-steering).

God Bless the Reverend (for Pedro Pietri) by Rodrigo Ortiz

No Comments 15 July 2008

I don’t understand My crazy cousin clothed in black Seated slouched on my black couch Making me laugh then weep Because ¯for being so cheap I have messed up my feet¯ He’s a poet and legend Who flew to Manhattan When bread prices soared Was redirected to Vietnam Where he died/cause they lied ¯and so, [...]

Aperture by Tatiana Forero Puerto

No Comments 09 July 2008

The woman’s power is in her giant frame. She hands you a drink, Mami, a feigned grin you can’t read in your kindness, the weakness of your thinning parts: naked branches in the fall (I still dream you sickly, soft lips quenched). Your eyes find the woman, she walks you to the green patio, the [...]
