Excerpt:

---------------------------------if you repeat the names they disappear

between water and a line of type

a lump in my throat

blows into the tubes located at your shoulders

the hole in your lip is bleeding

you don’t know what to think so i’ll tell you

both are true

there are no neutral storms

memory or loss bores holes into you

here’s what happened here’s what some people say what happened

i can’t separate the two

no distinction between fiction and fact no distinction

it’s not your fault

you can’t see the sutures

so i cross reference the living with someone else’s skin

scene from the door scene from the window scene from the inside

my fingers cast a shadow down the center

supposing we could separate the two

shards on your face account for all those references

in someone else’s words

the pieces spread thin from intention

oh yes

you should definitely use both hands for that speech

Excerpt:


Everyone I Knew In High School Is Dead


The egg fell onto the flashlight’s head,
a sound colder than outer space. When you
have an accident with an already-dead object
I can’t finish my sentence. I swung a stomach
I wished for one of those strangle bracelets
Grades melted under the radiator like
a doll on behalf of itself. The itch
of washer-dryer tags. We rejected
blood clots, are we tidal waves in the library
I card cataloged you until I could forget
& then find you again in the index
My leaking house, come back out
of the cake basement

and I would open by Jill Stengel

NOW AVAILABLE:

and I would open

Domestic $6.00 International $9.00

EXCERPT:

having lost
train of thought

train wreck
collision
airbus crash into water

one, two
twenty-three skidoo

A flies twice weekly

force away thoughts
build little houses of brick
huff-puff wolves, stay out

Michael Slosek's Holding Place

I hope you haven't been holding your breath. Please breathe.

Holding Place

Domestic $5.00 International $8.00

Excerpt from the title poem, Holding Place



Held to, the dust in the wall
as a day to introduce.

The lines lean in upon
the ones and twos.

For casks in the blood
before dusk makes purpose.

Moving along the one
square, broken from

a house in cards. The seams
no longer visible.
