Koi Fish | Mary Bone
Koi fish swimming
in a bowl,
looking for food.
Floating eyes
are mirrors
looking back
at me.
read poetry
Telephone in the Brain | Edgar Law
Click goes the invisible
Receiver, Hello, brother,
A strange voice answers,
I say, Yes, did you publish
My poem, Yes, he says.
I look for it all day but
My wounded words must
Have limped away.
Sea Stories | Ananya S. Guha
Sea changes
offshore, will-o’-the-wisp,
often foam eats the sea
and the distant houses
fade into oblivion.
Drag a carcass into the sea
death has manifold visions
shark teeth is one of them and alligators cruising.
Sky Blues | Ananya S. Guha
Turning around
salt in the air thickens
not the fog, a musty smell
saying that evening must not end, equinoxes or not
things must happen
then disappear like quicksilver, evening thickens, the turn around
washes away sky blues.
Misdirection | Daniel Scott Moore
Here I am,
There I go.
Am I coming or going?
Well, I don’t know.
But looking in from all around.
It seems I’m forwards, backwards, up, and down.
A Telling Visit | Krushna Chandra Mishra
The last visit you
told me what you had
never told before
with your moist eyes
many things you thought
I should understand,
I felt deep in me stirring
every past day you had given me
with only dreams that stay
challenging even today.
