Poem in Blue and White by Laura Solórzano

            We have in our body the earth’s fertile hemisphere: to feel the white seed in the fear of our bones. And an opaque, damp consistency. Corporeal music furrowed by aqueous conduits, when our blood throbs. Increasing delirium. Intimacy blossoms like offal blossoms, with its pistils in an ecstasy of useless softness. So many times we can see them bud: blue flowers from the husks of our suffering, they rise up like the first and last notes of an imperious song.

Poema en blanco y azul

            Ink_in_water_juttaschnecke_via_flicTenemos en el cuerpo el hemisferio fértil de la tierra: sentir la blanca semilla en el temor de los huesos. Y una consistencia opaca y húmeda. Corpórea música surcada por conductos acuosos, cuando late la sangre. Delirio en crecimiento. Florece la intimidad como florece el despojo con los pistilos extasiados de suavidad inservible. Tantas veces podemos verlas brotar: flores azules desde las cáscaras de nuestra pena, se elevan como las notas primeras y últimas de una imperiosa canción.

maybe bachelors remind me of the limelit snowflakes dazzling the sky

limitless sequels scheduled to arrive by boat will have been claimed before we dock.
                         
I am prepared to row
along the rows of waves.
                         
I am industrious though not indifferent.
                         
the mainsails hasten or they try to last beyond me.
                         
ways through dim the quality of light I'm used to in the desert.
                         
the low desert listlessly contrasting with the high toward santa fe where bodywork is structured as clematis.
                         
be well young dowry, there are agitants whose whole cloves prepare to pierce body of mind and work.
                         
come home to zither and come home to bowls inhabiting the habitat of morning.
                         
look into the streetlamp that defines the sky.
                         
these are our juried peerages who flit across the mind's rough draft receipts.

Dim Sum for the Anti-Anthological

Dimsumvariouskinds Check out Joyelle McSweeney's latest post on Delirious Hem.  It's about the problems inherent to anthologizing.  Her argument is that anthologies are by their nature hierarchical and serve to galvanize traditions (think fossil museum, time capsule, etc.).  You could summarize her argument as: anthologies preempt dialogue. I think the essay is well done.

Liquidation Sale by Rachel M. Simon

You will reach a lifepoint
when the pictured collars
of thirty years ago
evoke a warm ketchup feeling, not a
what were they thinking? electrode.

We’re all dying, all pulling
our laces so tight, later
you will have red line evidence
on your bare feet
sliding under the untucked.

In olympic diving the goal
is to make a splash much smaller
than my olive propelled
from toothpick to gin.
Ties are just stain magnets afterall.

Every seven years you have
an entirely new body.
Each cell free of the crap
of shitty 1998. In nine years
you’ll have the same bad habits.

Around age thirty
you’ll talk freely about
your STD history.
If you have kids you’ll talk
poo and movie ratings.

Who do you have to know
to die painlessly in your sleep?
Rumor has it the afterlife menu
is bland, go ahead
ride the motorcycle.

Arthritis, shingles, eyelash curler,
hemorrhoids, hair loss, hangnail
depilatory, puberty, osteoporosis,
mowing the lawn, short term,
long term memory loss

Everything
must
go.

Mike's Fireworks

Mike2cover You can snatch up a copy of the first edition of Fireworks, an art book by Mike Mills, which you can purchase here at Nieves Store.  Summarizing Mike's artist statement, I'll call it: expressionism for depressionism.  If I had a copy, I'd sleep with it under my pillow.

How to Write Poems #86 by F.J. Bergmann

See, you take a language
you don't even know
and make up whatever
you think it looks like
it could say. Schickelgruber
becomes "shackled grubs"
or "sickle groove." Or "chick
leg rubber." Words are
squirming Rorschach splats
and you have a condition
not described in the DMS-IV.
Pictograms and hieroglyphs
are more, or possibly less,
accommodating. Barcodes are
the most challenging.
