The Little Mommy Sonnets
“I will put Chaos into fourteen lines and keep him there…” —Edna St. Vincent Millay 1 Your voice, always in my head until the shrinking, until I could call you Little Mommy. When you lost the family names, we watched them march out the door holding hands with the hurts…
The Air Lit Afire
For the 216 men and boys killed in the 1902 Fraterville Mine explosion This is how they died: while a boy held a pocket watch in the near-dark, while the lantern lit up bituminous veins, their chests took flame and their bodies slumped. A few of them with paper and…
Long Line Inexorably Moving, April 12, 2016
(a double abecedarian) Zoned camps strung with barbed wire. Sandwiches, weak tea, yearning wives, their memories of Aleppo (Haleb), xysters, scraping their bones. Baby cries with colic, weary children whine; they all witnessed the transcribed dead. Violence, thieves, the worst and the best, each refugee united into one braid of…
The Colourist of Artificial Fish
The trick is understanding line of sight: the upper is mud-olive like the river bed; the under, shimmering and bright, the newly sun-hit surface of the water. I am Seurat—my dots are scales, the play of light on something moving, sinuous; the dark is stippled black; two jet eyes say…
Sundowning
A condition in which persons with cognitive impairment tend to become confused or disoriented at the end of the day. —Mosby's Medical Dictionary At night, it's not a lie to say there never was a sun. So if she finds a chocolate, say it's Easter. And if she says it's…
Custodial
I used to mop the floors in the detox ward, a line of doors guarded by a coded lock that sundered the patients' days from mine, that portioned out their time, as I wondered, and soldiered against entropy, what I'd do if it were me and I had risen there,…
The Road West
I left my kid brother standing alone in our mother's living room display of antiquities. I left him flanked by the dual stone poodles guarding the hearth. He held still for it, his two lips one line like a mute hyphen between state secrets, in his eyes the fog where…
Insomnia
Thoughts cannot hurt you. When flies settle on the ceiling, don't listen to the fever of their wings. Honesty does not have to be a knife. Still, your skin mixes with molecules of air, lit cities clenched in your heartbeat. When you check your reflection, use the window. A sheet…
For a Catfish (after Fukushima)
I am become Death, The shatterer of worlds. —J. Robert Oppenheimer, quoted from the Bhagavad-Gita after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings It was Namazu, legend says, caused the quake. He drifted off one night as always, snug under blanket-layers of mud, smell of seaweed lulling him to sleep, fatigue's lead-weight…
Anchorhold
for, and inspired by, José Angel Araguz I am confined with time on my hands— my anchorhold is the kitchen. This door is the peek through which I receive the host, not from a priest but from the grocery, husband bringing in a twenty-two kilo sack of flour, double-ott, a…
How the Boy Might See It
By Charlie Bondhus
Able to Choose
By Patrick T. Reardon
Edges of Roads
Of all country things, I suppose I know best the edges of roads, not berms where grass grows down to sides of ditches, like on interstates, or even where animals feed at dusk, where cans congregate with wrappers and the small dead are bounced off below the cruising vultures. I…
The Fitting
Normally, you want the front ballistic panel two and one half inches above the belt. A bullet proof vest is only as good as the fitting. Raise your chin. I'll get the length of your chest. Above the belt and no higher than your second top button. That way when…
