jack martin
ought
There ought to be something./Some nuance or subterfuge,/a wind beneath the skin,

area of circle
I’ve been trying not to think of the Grand Canyon as genitalia.

national anthem
It appears on the lips,/is a feral beast,/an antidote for poison.


jolie prather
xy.
the happiest, foggiest, most wasted/days of my life.


luc simonic
me and bettie
i like plain words like Yes and stop./and how they echo off your chest

obla
pebbles and marbles, water and oil.

99 bottles of beer
i am the apple cart/That you roll around/and peel and sell off/slice by slice.


brian dickson
six in snow suits like sardines
let’s not go in there, the simplest of packages,/the shimmer fins of sardines cooled prints in the snow.


kat isaacson
noema
i wish you'd catch me up/and splice my mind

hyperlanguage I
I say, meaning/reticentbeatsdecadence/oftomeouterlimits


julie bolt
part and parcel
that boy liked to cut earthworms in half/he said they wouldn’t die.
