Connection Poems
fatal connections
by Sarah A
minds try to connect
bodies do too
sometimes only one
good enough for fun
but when its two
both body and mind true
you will fall like you never do

“it’s okay” they said
“we all have our own path of growth deeply individualized by our past”
“to denounce who you were and to agree with your self hatred means i strayed away from my path, backpedaling”
“you were who you were and you are who you are, just as she is and they are”
“the ones who care too much for your journey and tread along beside obsessed with you lose focus of where they are going surely to trip on the way, taking a detour on a crossroad of unfated destiny, but that is now their path, again greatly impacted by where they were and where they thought they were going”
“a long winded way to say to each his own”
they told me this unsbject of selfishness or deviance
“i love you and we will go our separate ways, alleys, avenues, and one day i hope to meet you at the end of a corridor. you, ready with stories to pour out of your heart, i will sit there patiently astounded by who you’ve become beaming at the grace that our paths crossed”

by Charles Hellen
I approach
The golden site of prayer.
Ashes
Surround the altar, testaments
To the ascensions of the past.
I am not
The first to pad up to the
Empty obsidian
Eyes.

Will you remember me...
by Raina Hutchins
I know I haven't seen you
I know we’re miles apart
I know I cannot hold you
But I feel you in my heart

And you to think of me
Trying not to want
What we know can never be

Minds That Know
by Brady Stewart
Connection?
Yes-
that is a question.
Have you found it yet?
Is it worth the mention?
Can it find itself deep, in your dreamy convention?
Because I find that personally (to Me)
Connection is profound (unreasonably)
As a facade it
[appears]

What One May Sacrifice for Autonomy
by Brady Stewart
Should I giggle and hold,
Or moan and release?
Or should I cease to vocate?
Fa tho, Fa tho,
In me cease is what you speak
People, friends, peers,
For spreading voices
Vaseline under your skin
I pray is foreign,

“No Loitering”
by Drew Schoenfeld
The sign says “No Loitering”
But I don’t mind you soft strangers,
shuffling in mute,
meeting solace in the morning sun.
Its warmth on your shoulders
feels a little bit like love.
I know we’re always swimming in dirt and pretending we’re not.
