Guests Mere Trumpet

by Freddy Lee

Reaching can't or bleeding fall us. Dither while, row vapid triangle. Blame roost. Were heaping. Cranial beside, tumbling frock muster.

Gutter Pines

in dedication to poetic great, Clifford Duffy

Minstrel grinds tenor. Savory bind. Alight parry tinkle. Fever cans were living sinkhole. A beeping stir heaves uptown. Leak for.

E.B. White Studies, Ring of Time 2

Her trainer was a woman of about forty, and the two of them, horse and woman, seemed caught up on one of those desultory treadmills of afternoon from which there is no apparent escape. (White 178bc)

E.B. White Studies, Ring of Time 1

After the lions had returned to their cages, creeping angrily through the cutes, a little bunch of us drifted away and into an open doorway nearby, where we stood for a while in semidarkness, watching a big brown circus horse go harumphing around the practice ring. (White, 178b)

Yesterday's Provision

by Roger Left

Jester bankrupt candy pump to clean-land turnip space-suit. Cling frothy Paris. Minotaur. Virgin gas of ankle-teeth.

Blister godsend pleading roars tomato picture cat. Ball angle spinach garrison. Atop meandering tame.

Nape sundown. I willow. Popcorn Maggie risen.

Relivery & Silence

by Reagan Lorn

Upending smother careless plaid. Tremble south. Bridal. Garnish memento spandex creation. Plethora furnish candidly. Relivered bonus toward-too China.

Tangled perpitude, sun-tranced hush. Of wretched singe Adam.

Cleaver.

Bottom ...

by Terrence Guthaford

Bottom razors driven froth. Particle timbre wisest bottle. Crisp prairie visitor’s tower. Troubles gaff your wretch-ward mark.

As moons hurl piece-meal laundry, spokesmen tangle garbled leisures. Basement sandals tarry glisten. Don’t you know he dropped go skittles?

Rainfalls marriage thickened crags. Long-termed arm-hair patterned corn man.

Gracious sweat divisive rainspout. A ton up ferry goat.

Words on the Road

Words on the Road

From Sun to Mystery, we words walk the highway. A ministry of satisfaction. Tight-ending drivel, left-over tombs. Regarded as winners. Brusque winds disappear. Expansion. Settled. Meek smells enrich tapestry.

Sedentary on the backs of travelers. Words see all. We'll send you postcards.

The Status of Words

Words statue. Standing our falls. Not puppets or dummies. Not masks. Not signs. Not rivers. Not traces of erasable ink. Not ideas. Nor sensations.

What say words of themselves? I stand. You fall. Stand us up, fore you’re gone.

White Heat

Do you doubt: writing is energy? Words vibrate, burn, and resonate. Contract independents. The chemicals explode. Fictional mastery? Writing is alchemy.

Or a sorcerer's art? Conjure. Incant. Call-forth forces.

A craft? Word-forge apprentice. First forgery, then identity.

Don't let your words burn red. Many fear fire. So: be white heat. (Gift your glowing lethal power.)
