Stephen Mead: The Anonymity of the Big Picture

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/Ewvc-hICIAY) 20.2.2022. The Sacred Word Can you find an old typewriter whose keys have not been registered with the government? Is there any terminal available in some lab after hours, shutters down? Get the picture, fax it but don't use real names. These people are things, traced easily, traced down through records & the resins, the dates of paper, skin-porous. Perhaps use gloves or blocks of news-cut letters glued ov

Igor Petrić: Potihe želje

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/YcKnAY8ugzw) 13.2.2022. Ugljen za crtanje Oslobodi se okova, oslobodi suvišnih riječi i ljudi koji ne znaju što će sa sobom. Oslobodi se dosadnih pitanja, jer odgovori nikog ne zanimaju. Košnica u kojoj živiš premala je za tvoje snove. Slomi zidove, slomi ograde i odleti dalje od ovog sada. Ovog mjesta u kojem ljubomora pobjeđuje u srazu mašte i razuma, a glupost zauzima vodeće mjesto u igri preživljavanja. Ponekad dovo

Frederick Pollack: A Long Sentence

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/aGkiNPivj_E) 13.2.2022. The Perks It was a long sentence, not entirely fair, but I’ve stopped insisting I was innocent. Now I relate to much younger people, young enough to value “experience,” and see me as one, and surreptitiously seek wisdom. They’re still there, beneath the hard-wired disappointment (no assets but youth, no prospect but loss), and stop to talk. The girls radiate … like a solar corona above the mistru

Jeannette de Beauvoir: All Their Blood

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/TdVGcGkb6C8) 7-2.2022. 48 Hours My aunt died in a cellar under the old City Hall. I don’t know how she’d come to be there or what exactly they did to her: there were rumors but by the time I was born they were almost all dead, the ones who could have told me. She had run a secret printing press, so perhaps I have words in my blood, after all—a dubious gift without her strength and fortitude, without her faith that it al

Meg Smith: The Light of Memory/Hibernation of Demons

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/FL6rma2jePU) 7.2.2022. Ragged Angel I've retrieved from golden tissue paper the tree-topper I first knew in childhood. Never a distant prehistory but always close, with its mythologies and night terrors, and fantastical fires dancing on the Mystic River. So, too, this angel -- from a specialty store, her arms tiny white lights, a halo of glory. Now, tatters of her gown fall, and we are both searching for the light of me

Meg Smith: Empty Dark of Space/A Discovery of Dawns

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/eWuc6TXc8Ok) 7.2.2022. The Colored Lights on the Waterfall I'm whispering above the songs of ceremony in the empty dark of space, present even here, as lanterns splash the red, blue and gold, a plea to the return of the sun. But it always comes. It's night that we lose, with its kindness and lack of judgment. I cast my pleas to the green lamps, drawing out the river in departing. A Discovery of Stars For Douglas Bishop

Tim Moder: Infinite Transmigration/Breathing Under Water

Image: Unsplash, downloaded (https://unsplash.com/photos/Cp-LUHPRpWM) 30.1.2022. Strange and Sudden Ease In loving memory of Martha Carrier, et al. Were you made to speak Gullah to the Atsangani? Was your Magpie? Did you survive the swimming tests by breathing under water? Are there yet soft places on the sides of your neck? Were you seen buying cauls from saltwater Geechee? Do you have a second skin? Were you in league with invisible priestesses? Were your people of the fog?
