At the Ceiling

Moon of lights
on the dark walk
in the tall grass.
A girl in furs
with black flowers
in blonde hair.
I secured balance
in tree movement,
stars dripping.
The dogs bay
in rage at silence
and a trespass
into the fearing.
I struck with fist
at the ceiling
of this red dirt.

“At the Ceiling” (c) 2013 by John Swain, from his book Rain and Gravestones (published by Crisis Chronicles Press).

John Swain of Louisville, Kentucky, is the author of several acclaimed books including White Vases (2012, Crisis Chronicles) and Ring the Sycamore Sky (2014, Red Paint Hill).

Miming (by Martin Burke)

Miming

Show me red by pointing to not-red

direct me north without a compass

Blind up my eyes and show me pure light

use every word to speak silent

Point at the wood to show me a road

Talk of snow at mid-summer solstice

Summon the living and summon the dead

describe one to the other

 

Bypass one and two and count to three

where musicians are miming their parts

Show me by shadows the hand on a page

writing what the page requires

Martin Burke was born in Ireland (Limerick) but lives now in Flanders (the northern Flemish speaking area of Belgium).  He has published a number of books in Ireland, the UK, USA, and Belgium.

Texas City

 
April 16, 1947
“This is a day of synthetic living”
                                                 a day
of better living through chemistry,
and,
        at the same time,
of better death through chemistry too,
the paradox of a petrochemical product
                                                           Specifically:
the miracle fertilizer,
                              the deadly explosive,
ammonium nitrate
                               On this day
over five million pounds had been loaded on ships
that would then leave port and set sail,
                                                         delivering
the miracle fertilizer to war-ravaged countries
who would use it to feed themselves
                                                        But
the deadly explosive intervened first
A hundred eves of destruction had passed
uncelebrated,
                     unnoticed even,
                                             until
the ship carrying the load caught on fire just after 8 AM
The fire department rushed to fight the fire
(there was no longer a fire boat in the port town:
the corporatized waterfront lay outside
the part of the town that paid taxes,
                                                     and
the corporations wouldn’t pay for it out of the goodness of their hearts)
The sight of the sea boiling,
mixed with the pretty smoke from the fire,
drew a crowd of spectators
9:12 AM
                  Explosion,
powerful enough to register on a seismograph
hundreds of miles from the scene,
powerful enough to toss one-ton chunks of metal
two-and-a-half miles,
incinerating almost the whole town,
                                                     killing
the entire twenty-seven-member Fire Department
and more than five hundred others;
the exact death toll would never be known
The town would win a lawsuit against the federal government
for failing to warn the town of the dangers
of ammonium nitrate
The case would make its way all the way
to the Supreme Court:
“Defendant did know”
“it was dangerous to manufacture,
                                                 dangerous to ship,
                                                                            and dangerous to use”
Unfortunately,
this was a dissenting opinion;
the majority voted to reverse
on the shakiest of grounds (if that),
that the government had the “discretion”
to not warn its citizens of danger
if it served some higher purpose
(as defined by the government)
More from the dissent:
“This was a man-made disaster”
“the disaster was caused by forces
set in motion by the Government,
completely controlled or controllable by it”
“The Government was liable
                                            If not,
the ancient and discredited doctrine
that ‘The King Can Do No Wrong’
has not been uprooted”
                                   As,
                                         to this day,
                                                           it has not—

Blood is Thick (by Alexis-Rueal)

Alexis-Rueal

Blood is Thick

Blood is thick
Like honey,
Or your Mom’s Halston perfume,
Or your favorite wool coat.
Dive into it, you will know you are caught

In its permanence.
Sap in your veins, growing you from

The roots up, your heart pumps it
Hot and sickly sweet, the residue of family
Imbuing the shadow you
Cast on the here and now. You
Know with each thrum that you are bound.

But you are much more at home in the water; you
Understand the pulling tide of friendship better
Than the thick lineage caught in your pulse. You

Wade through late night phone calls
And coffee, poker night, pizza–
The oceans of small
Events that make life whole.
Rare is the day, you don’t long to

Swim with those
Who would not spit you out for
All of your faults.
Linger in calm pools of
Laughter, drift onward,
Onward on gentle
Waves of acceptance and
Support.

Better for you to
Accept the thickness of your blood, but
Carry in you the lightness of water.
Know your friends would swallow you back.

Red Dust

“A rooster can eat a snake, you know.” Li told the older boy in the school yard.

“No, it can’t.” The boy countered. “The snake would kill it before it could even try.”

“Each animal has its own strength.” She insisted. “And if the rooster were provoked, it would kill a snake.”

“I don’t believe you.” The boy taunted.

“Alright, you go get a snake, and I’ll get my rooster.”

The boy ran off into the trees behind the school and Li crossed the dry, red, dirt road to her house on the other side. Her parents weren’t home, so they wouldn’t know that she had taken “Sawan,” her father’s prized rooster. She had to be right.

They met back up in the dusty school yard within minutes. “Alright,” the boy said. “When I count to three, we will both drop them in front of us. Ready? One…two…three.” And the boy almost threw the snake on the ground and it started to slither until Li released Sawan.

Sawan started squawking as if he had already been caught. He ruffled his feathers and flapped his wings in a frenzy. The snake just watched quietly and hissed; watching and waiting. Sawan almost caused himself a heart attack in his noisy display, but he must have known that if he ran away, he could be swiftly attacked.

“Come on, Sawan! Eat him!” Li half-cheered and half-pleaded. Sawan started to calm down. The snake was not attacking him. Maybe he was safe. And in that very moment, the snake lunged, biting Sawan perfectly on the neck. The rooster collapsed almost immediately into a mound of flesh and feathers.

Li fell on her knees in the dry dirt next to the bird and her little mind began to connect the dots.

They found her body floating in the river hours later because she understood that she would always be the victim of snakes.

Cahallahan Visits the Ocean (by Chuck Joy)

Cahallahan Visits the Ocean

1.
the music you can’t hear
we’re in New England
it’s a cold spring

when you read these words
how many years from now
you will appreciate our success
limiting global warming
strengths-based

today my work
is take a walk,
I’ve dressed the part
and approach my task with all the dread and eagerness
of a short shift in the clinic
where everything I fear is me

2.
we’re in the land of cedar shake shingle
Rick’s Fresh Seafood
a tumbledown cannery replaced by condos
and empty cathedrals
say hello to the Atlantic coast

taste the salt on the sea breeze
watch the glass on the sidewalk
enjoy the locals, their accent
just don’t stop, we’re here to walk

visioning Cody, from a parking lot
hey man, you’re a sight for sore eyes!
this is us, we’re here for a short time
all this sweetness gone in one heartbeat
these feet, their sneakers
the opportunity to make straight one more path

3.
the music we can’t hear
plays on, still playing, all dramatic screeches
or dolorous sonorities soon returned
to the beat, the big beat

a little love and affection
in everything you do
will make the world a better place
with or without you

our parking space left empty for a suitable interval
like Carmichael’s in Greendale, one year
our consciousness limitless now, nowhere, everywhere
we are the music you can’t hear

Dionysus

She said that she wanted to make love to Dionysus
And so she stroked her luminous hair and danced
Under the pale moonlight until the music
Matched the moment and Dionysus arrived
Drunk and bare chested, caressing her slender hips
Then she gave into his brutish desire
And for a moment her entire universe was perfect

Not to Be Ignored (by Frank C. Praeger)

Not to Be Ignored

Lace and a razor strap,
brimstone,
potash, brochures,
and faded newspaper clippings
fomented further than lastly; then, yes, away.

The lesser of superfluous,
something other than degraded,
not to cease, to be gnawed at,

Not to let it not be,

Ignored the trains that never halted;
so satisfied as to pray for the skewered birds,
or fetishes for parallels,
composites for pedigrees.
A patch of vetch, redemptive blue
as solace quickens
surrounded by the faintest green,
bumblebees, the fall of rain.

6th Floor

Every time one goes in or out
they shut the door despite
your saying leave it open.

You hate feeling jailed.
The only view the heli-pad
where people sicker than you

are airlifted in or out.
It’s hygiene, I say, this door
question. Keeping germs contained.

On this floor, infectious patients
are quarantined, some with blue
or yellow placards on their doors.

Acceptable practice: aqua gloves,
hand sanitizers, an occasional mask.
You want to see who staggers

past gripping an IV pole
like a bishop with his crosier.
The girls in scrubs

chattering in Tagalog,
Swinging their lanyards
Like scapulars.

Hospitalists in white
lab coats. Specialists important
in suits and ties like businessmen.

The laundry carts, the carts of food
you order, then disdain, a liquid
diet of broth or tasteless jello.

Leave the door open is your refrain
against closure. The codes
that mystify the corridors.

Subconsciously Self-Restrained (by Johny Godace)

Johny Godace

Subconsciously Self-Restrained

Death and despair embed in the air
With questioning glares and embarrassing stares
Some empathy here, more sympathy there
The vision is dreadful and simply unfair
More hesitant glances and halted advances
The irony stance is now plainly aware
That follicles fail and comparisons pale for a male
The thought of him losing his hair

 

* * *

About Johny Godace:

I’ve always enjoyed poetry and I started on Shel Silverstein when I was young. Poe became a huge inspiration later on. Other inspirations include Alvin Schwartz (writer) and Stephen Gammell (illustrator) who worked on the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book series. Various Hip-hop artists played an integral part as well as Kevin Smith: screenwriter, actor, film producer, and director, as well as a popular comic book writer, author, and podcaster. I always loved good wordplay and appreciated intricate ways words can make the reader feel and give them a visual for what the writer is communicating to the reader.
