Dream

by Wesley Kieswetter

Dost thou know of what I mean?
To be trapped within a dream
With all life’s questions intertwined
In the confusion of the mind

Silken petals and velvet seas
Pray to the divine upon your knees
Oh thou, great god, show me thy way
Of magick, and nature, and ecstasy

Boots

by Rudyard Kipling

INFANTRY COLUMNS

We're foot--slog--slog--slog--sloggin' over Africa --
Foot--foot--foot--foot--sloggin' over Africa --
(Boots--boots--boots--boots--movin' up an' down again!)
There's no discharge in the war!

Seven--six--eleven--five--nine-an'-tw enty mile to-day --
Four--eleven--seventeen--thirty-two the day before --
(Boots--boots--boots--boots--movin' up an' down again!)

Upon A Fit Of Sickness

by Anne Bradstreet

Twice ten years old not fully told
since nature gave me breath,
My race is run, my thread spun,
lo, here is fatal death.
All men must die, and so must I;
this cannot be revoked.
For Adam's sake this word God spake
when he so high provoked.
Yet live I shall, this life's but small,
in place of highest bliss,

The Toy-Maker

by Russell Edson

A toy-maker made a toy wife and a toy child.
He made a toy house and some toy years.

He made a getting-old toy, and he made a dying
toy.

The toy-maker made a toy heaven and a toy god.

But, best of all, he liked making toy shit.

manna

by Nyashia Carrington

At the burial ground, I stood over you –
My face flushed, fingertips iced
I hear your name
and remember how you know me
as I know you —
or perhaps as only absence knows.

I feel your corset pulling on my waist
Scratches left behind
I watch filth dissolve into buckets

Voir Dire on Truth : Voir Dire Series

by Ghairo Daniels

truth, a specific view of reality
it appears before persons at a given moment
it is not static and cannot be measured
in a laboratory
each individual score is different
as every perceived phenomenon is specific
truth is time bound according
to one mindset frequency within a set framework

truth is always connected

Voir Dire on Imagination

by Ghairo Daniels

Imagination is Divinity's show
we see what is in store and stock, old or new
challenging problems from various viewpoints
non-linear timeless, moves directionless
concretises void contents self perceives pure
evidence of things unseen in moving realms
fountain spring of all new wisdoms from unknown
dust it off, open it up, ageless it is
a no cost preview of coming attractions

I am not the one

It was the builder
I am not the one
Who gave you life
It was God
