Deception | JayM
To End The Day:
What is joy
Asked the bee,
Anything that can enchant my soul
The flower replied.
The abandoned petal laughed
Said,
Brutus was his happiness
He was Caesar.

Lonesome Letter | Kenneth Vincent Walker
I give, and I give
While expecting
Nothing in return,
But the moment I
Come requesting
A very small favor
All I get is silence,
The cold shoulder
From my so-called
Friends in alliance.
I know you owe me
Nothing, but I can’t
Help feeling utterly
Rejected, dejected,
And ultimately used.
You know that I would
Not treat you that way.
Hence, this lonesome
Letter from the abused.
Election Night | David Susswein
You’ve lied to me,
lied to me lied to me
I quit my job, sold my house
moved to another state,
left my family.
You’ve lied to me: lied to me: lied to me:
your embrace a trick to steal from me,
your kiss as faithful as a warming winter,
your smile a rictus mocking,
Crease of Skin.
