A debauched and wanton young floozie
Came by and said “I'm Suzy
I'm looking for Fred
To take me to bed
But you will do, I'm not choosy.”Joan Shelley – Stay On My Shore

Beast and Beauty
by Vievee FrancisHe took me like a mother, drew my head toward himself,
pulled me onto his lap, wrapped his arms around me and cooed
into my hair, softly as if I was dreaming and
he didn't want to wake me.
He sang a song that sounded like birds singing in the sycamore
then tree frogs. I wanted to leave. I stayed where I was.
He wore a lovely shirt. His hair was surprisingly kempt.
There was half a candle piece and a rug of quarters. Tomato soup
on the stove. I thought, “What a shirt.” I prayed my breasts
would magically spill from the zipper. I wanted to feel my calloused heels
on his thighs. I wanted to linger 'til dawn. His pared nails scratched
an itch that had eluded me for years. I cried as if I were slicing onions
in his kitchen. He was a good mother. He held me, like a daughter,
as if I was just as beautiful, as he believed me to be.Joan Shelley If the Storms Never Came

Get tired of tired
Awakened by the weight of the common human state

Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy from their 6th album Physical Graffiti
but their 5th album was named Houses of the Holy but did not include
the track because they didn't think it fit well with the other tracks.
I never knew that.
Let me take you to the movies
Can I take you to the show?
Let me be yours ever truly
Can I make your garden grow?H.C. McIntyre Houses of the Holy

How To Write a Poem
by Laura HersheyDon't be brilliant.
Don't use words for their own sake, or to show
how clever you are,
how thoroughly you have subjugated them
to your will, the words.Don't try to write a poem
as good as your favorite poet.
Don't even try to write
a good poem.Just peel back the folds over your heart
and shine into it
the strongest light that streams
from your eyes, or somewhere else.Whatever begins bubbling forth from there,
whatever sound or smell or color
swells up, makes your throat
fill with unsaid tears,whatever threatens to ignite your hair, your eyelashes,
if you get too close—write that.
Suck it in and quickly
shape it with your tongue
before you grow too afraid of it
and it gets away.Don't think about
writing a good poem, or a great poem,
or the poem to end all poems.Write the poem,
you need to hear;
write the poem you need.Langhorne Slim – The Way We Move

Love Letter
By Nathalie HandalI’d like to be a shrine, so I can learn from peoples’ prayers the story of hearts. I’d like to be a scarf so I can place it over my hair and understand other worlds. I’d like to be the voice of a soprano singer so I can move through all borders and see them vanish with every spell-binding note. I’d like to be light so I illuminate the dark. I’d like to be water to fill bodies so we can gently float together indefinitely. I’d like to be a lemon, to be zest all the time, or an olive tree to shimmer silver on the earth. Most of all, I’d like to be a poem, to reach your heart and stay.
