Plunge – Kate Wallace Rogers
Everydays like this one, I can’t wait to find my way around the bend, to a lonely patch all by myself. I strip down, slip down into briny deliciousness cool plunge under, get to know my own sensual self, way below aqualayers I’m alive. Euphoric green, underwater pristine as far as the body can see,…

On Learning that NASA Has Military Connections – Chris Kaiser
He studies the night sky with an eye Toward the blinding majesty of dark sparkles That pop in and out of existence Like inchoate dreams of teenaged boys Wanting to know the unknowable. The peace of the solitary moon calls to him, And the ghost of Neil Armstrong hugs him, Kisses him goodnight, Even as…

The Broken – A. Gregory Frankson
the beautifully brave are like brittle birch bark bent by blows borne with breath bated, barely able to maintain emotional communion with the vibrations innate to their souls and when pressure exerted on their reed of society bends it to the breaking point and no other option remains they snap like the click of a…

The Ocean – Amanda Tumminaro
I was wed to the ocean, deeply. It was tranquil like a graveyard, but it made for a good listener, as I wanted a coffee confidante. But now the waves just welcome me in, with a curl of a palm, and one hiccup, and it’s done, and now it is time for sink or swim.…

Three Poems – John C. Mannone
Ruach Soft grasses kneel at your breath. The rustle of your small still voice in a breeze through a field of lilies incense their petals, stirs your whisper against the face of my soul. I thirst for the moisture of your words, taste the earth-rich rill in the air flavored with pine—my lips sated, …

Cancer Root – Harrison Pyros
The summer I planted bougainvillea in our backyard, my father was diagnosed with cancer.

I watered and watched the raspy green vines crawl their way across the wall,…

Huellas – Mike Sandoval
Llegó la hora de mirarnos el cuarto de espejos se rompió. ¿Cuánto vale el corazón que nunca me darás? Y bien, es hora de escucharnos la vida ya se adelantó. ¿Cuánto vale la razón que nunca me darás? Huellas que se van y no regresarán. Entre el bien y el mal no existe la verdad.…
