By Arik Mitra I stared, beneath dim lights of imbibed fear, it was impending; my heart, she was soon to pass away. Age old walls — plaster come off in patches, the low watt bulbs counted in silence, the cricket and the cicada chirps; Passed the night below my pillowed death.

By Stephan Pisko As she strolls over trembling twigs – floating and flaunting the sweet smell of cedars – Like a gaming gazelle she stops suddenly but only shortly on the carpet like floor to soak up the warm wild wind she captures – The fragrance of the day charms the night but nothing more charming as to see her in the forest – The … Continue reading “Girl In The Forest”

By Thelma T. Reyna PURPOSE IN WRITING THIS BOOK (ARTIST STATEMENT, FROM THE “FOREWORD”) I tell you all this with reverence for what we, all of us, don’t know, and with dismay that many of us live every day with unmoored assumptions of our longevity.

By Colin James Ethereal influences are our decor. Choosing these knee high tables has us feigning cross-leggedness on the floor. For me to roll in your direction requires a yogi’s dexterity I do not possess, so rapture still defies me unwillingly. The shapes that pass our nervous windows are asking too much when they try to project ceremonial clairvoyance. Directions to the nearest institution are … Continue reading Naked Lover In A Coma
