there's no talking her into slowing.
Don't go down into that basement,
we'd like to scream. What will it take
to bargain her blues,
To retire that term when it comes
to her? But the grain and the cigarettes,
the narcs and the...

Variation on the Word Sleep
by Margaret Atwood
I would like to watch you sleeping,
which may not happen.
I would like to watch you,
sleeping. I would like to sleep
with you, to enter
your sleep as its smooth dark wave
slides over my head
and walk with you through that lucent
wavering forest of bluegreen leaves
with its watery sun & three moons
towards the cave where you must...

Birds Appearing In A Dream →
Birds Appearing In A Dream
by Michael Collier
One had feathers like a blood-streaked koi, another a tail of color-coded wires. One was a blackbird stretching orchid wings, another a flicker with a wounded head.
All flew like leaves fluttering to escape, bright, circulating in burning air, and all returned when the air cleared. One was a kingfisher trapped in its bower,
deep in the...

Cinderella by Anne Sexton →
…”Cinderella went to the tree at the grave and cried forth like a gospel singer: Mama! Mama! My turtledove, send me to the prince’s ball! The bird dropped down a golden dress and delicate little slippers. Rather a large package for a simple bird.”

Stonehenge mystery may have been solved: Scientist... →
“Challenges theories that the site was intended for spiritual worship and ceremonial burials
Stonehenge may have been the place to rock out at trippy Neolithic concerts of sorts — and that may explain why the mysterious circle of stones was erected.
A U.S. researcher suggests that the architects of Stonehenge were inspired by magical “auditory illusions” the stones could...

THE FENCE – LENRIE PETERS →
THE FENCE There where the dim past and future mingle their nebulous hopes and aspirations there I lie.
There where truth and untruth struggle in endless and bloody combat, there I lie.
There where time moves forwards and backwards with not one moment’s pause for sighing, there I lie.
There where the body ages relentlessly and only the feeble mind can wander back
there I lie in...
