Isolation Poems
My window looks out on the neighbours.

My window looks out on the neighbours.
I see their lives in fragments –
Comings and goings.
I know their routines but not their names.
I see visits from parents,
Siblings and old friends.
I watch him hold her growing stomach,
Rush out to the hospital,
Come home with their child.
I see them take the baby inside,

Empire In Winter
by Judson Jerome
Love equals people times the square of the speed
of light.
If we but knew the way to split
our atoms of isolation, paradise
might be regained. Pipes are frozen under
the slow snow now. We sleep together mostly
to save our scanty firewood. Maybe need
will mother love's invention.
Doing without
is how we learn to do. The blizzard brings

Fade away
by j d
Chiseled faces, to meet and greet
Jumping out, beneath my feet
Tortured souls, of pain, and anguish
Searching for something lost, and sacred
Pain all in my knees, and my mind is just as weak

Alone in a crowd just staring at the clouds
Deathly afraid to speak my thoughts aloud

The flowers in my room

Sits an omen to one’s fragile sanity

Clear clean glass never neglected
Over time would transform to a tomb

Pig
by Noah Trist
Bleached stained floors stagnate in its eyes.
An eerie oink barreling at the walls,
To hung is to be more delicious.
This little piggy is less than me
A shaven beast waiting for the taking
Glistening skin under juicy meat
The pig doesn't want to die
But i want dinner

We are one and we are weird
by j d
Listen to my fears
We are one and we are weird
drowning in the rain
Two and two are quite the same
We all wanna hide
Or shrivel up and die
It always seems the same
Like a broken window pane
Wash it down with beer
