nightfall by David Wiggins


∴ discovering flowers
within verses
tracing their petals
along alluring contours

my waking dream—
one blossom overtakes
eluding all measure
enchantment aloft
sweet sepals beckoning

summer day wanes
once bright-eyes blink
innocence’s vision slowly fades
nodding, surrendering to slumber

nightfall, brings me to life
among lush saxifrage and arnica
savoring the intoxication
of wildflower nectar
reveling in nature’s games

feral wolf, a flame
of spirits barely kept at bay
yet promise—
these canines of mine
can be gentle and kind

shall we play? ∴

baby by David Wiggins

∴ gridlock grip radios rage harsh horns  blameless invisible hitchhiker riding shotgun with their baby’s spirochete-shaped toys  no hoarder of keepsakes yet these toys remain unbidden, in the car’s confines  navigation fogged voices speaking foreign lost in tongues unknown  a throng of commuters thundering past a stampede of haste  temperature spikes engine protesting overheating in defiance  tires wearing thin tread fading fast inch by weary inch  angry gestures fly as vehicles creep by their impatience palpable  brakes fail a screeching wail sqreeeeeeee head-on collision  a breath. a release  a moment’s caress of this chaos a minor delay  homeward bound. soon i’ll be on my way ∴ https://poetryandphoto.wordingway.com/?s=Spiro

The Pussy Whip by Kelly Sauvage Moyer

Once upon a time, in the very heart of the Village of Greenwich, there lived a performance artist, known for her vision, manifested in striking stage pictures and bold feminist statements. She would tell you that her art was not just her work; it was a calling, emerging out of her journey from small-town midwestern girl to tour de force, with periods of victim and survivor somewhere in between. Having lucked into a rent-controlled apartment in the ‘90s, she kept her needs modest so that she might enjoy every bit of serendipity that came her way. And, oh, did it ever. Learning early on that she could give herself a fuller life than “a good man” might, she relished in her freedom to travel the globe, staging performances, be they sanctioned or rogue, speaking her truth in a manner so memorable as to land her on the cover of many a magazine. Then, there came a time she found herself sidelined with mysterious symptoms that no doctor could diagnose. Thus, the hours that were once spent bene...
