ANGELO COLAVITA

black robe gold ribbon
adorn length and crown
firemouth loving

curse leaving
cold to touch

oysters opening
in flutter shipwreck
sleep sinking

under soft
worn thinly

veiled as
mourning lace beside
white witch mannequin
idol

so

idle morning
lays beside
drowning in sunlight

CHRISTOPHER D. DICICCO

In tar in a pit
in the ribs of
a tiny dinosaur,

the voice of a
thirty-four year old
man, announcing extinction,

booms. Our daughter wants
to know will we disappear too?
She snuggles and we nurture,

switching off the nature
documentary with its prehistoric
insight into what it will be

my family does next.

MEG HANSEN

Not trying to make sense
Don’t care if he comprehends me
I am writing
This manuscript, these letters
Addressed to him but meant for me
Tied up in tempestuous knots
Writing
I am writing myself
Free
