1. AN ILL KEPT TENAMENT • by L R Humphries 19 Comments

    
   His moist lips purse to kiss the amber rain,
   and catch the final seeping of its deluge,
   as gilded fragments of a winter’s sun,
   that glimmer through the darkness of the day.
   And as he steals along the nectar tarn,
   his eyes pause upon a square of shade;
   where, through the haze of a pale blue smoke,
   her outline taunts the concord [...]

2. I AM THAT IS YOU • by Rumjhum Biswas 10 Comments

    
   I am the carrier
   of epidemics. I pass
   through time with my load. I walk
   until I find a willing soul. I know
   I cannot be loved in return.
   My fee is hate.
    
   Hate is my fuel.
   Men need the likes of me.
   I pass through time until I find
   a willing soul who will unburden
   me. Become me. See?  
    
   See here I am now. [...]

3. XIPHOPAGUS LUST • by Christian Avery Bryant 7 Comments

   In younger years their
   needs were cool
   Not yet ripe to want
   the Fruit
   But older now the boys
   are wise
   To lusting of things
   in and outside
   Belly to belly
   one for woman
   lusts
   Cock to cock
   the other for man
   desires
   This the reason why
   the lover
   of fine women
   fights his brother
   with tooth, nail
   and
   separating blade
   in seeking freedom
   from his brother’s
   downward groping
   hands
   Christian Avery Bryant is a Los Angeles [...]

4. SHADES OF GREY • by Scott Neighbour 3 Comments

   Sunday driving
   A rain grey day
   We happen upon the fallen
   I’ve told my son
   Help your fellow man
   When you can
   The man I thought to be a drunk
   Is anything but
   “Look away”
   But the damage is done
   I move to the man I know to be dead
   Two bullets to the head
   His blood pools in his nose
   Gutter waters red
   Crimson flows
   But he’s not dead, [...]

6. MOROCCO • by Alexander J. Allison 4 Comments

   heat blaze bathed sun
   soaks the supple evening skin
   of shining surfaced afternoon.
   that afternoon wind which winds
   ‘tween souk and medina streets,
   the muttering retreats
   where sea winds creep
   still slowly breathing, breathing.
   planned music shines loudly,
   strangely,
   a noise to fill the boisterous air
   harmonized by seagulls cry:
   a light resemblant of morning.
   sea fresh fumes whip and heat
   meaty flesh and set it burning,
   as five o’clock [...]

7. AN ASSORTMENT OF MOLECULES • by Hena Pillai 10 Comments

    
   It struck me one day as
   I struggled over this and that,
   I am just an assortment of
   molecules held together
   by quantum physics and
   a twisted code that makes

   cells make more cells.
   One thing led to another
   until here I was frustrated,
   struggling over this and that.
    
   Every thought I think
   is just those moleculues
   glueing themselves into
   elements, then cells
   that schooled like fish,
   on [...]

8. PERCUSSION DAWN • by Nancy Wilcox 8 Comments

    
   Pavement at my feet
   smeared with pulsing streaks
   of red and green and amber,
   like oil slick over black water.
    
   Can’t keep step to
   dumpster riffs,
   techno rain.
    
   Denim pulls across my shoulders,
   fists shoved into empty pockets.
    
   Empty streets.
   Empty day comes
            through asphalt clouds.
    

   Nancy Wilcox is an internet poet of long-standing.  All this time, and still no one offers her a seat.

9. THE DOME OF THE GUARDIANS • by Roberta SchulbergGoro 23 Comments

    
   The guards upon the wall of circumspection are fitted with telescopic controlling devices,
   And cannot be seen by those subjected to their beaming stare.
   Martially positioned,
   They envision themselves as hidden images of masterfully muscled motion,
   Salience rendered in avant-guard synthetic laboratory colors,
   A glowing film of transparent shadows expansively projected against a vast silver screen of sky,
   Intrepid steersmen –
   Standing [...]
