GARGOYLES
by Tyler King

I want to travel to ancient cathedrals
and learn to sit like the gargoyles,
to perch alongside spires and windows
filtering the light through colored glass,
to see shifting crowds on cobblestones
and drifting clouds make turtle-shell skies,
to breathe in time with the ringing of the bells,
all the while staying still as living stone.






HELLO ORKNEY, SCOTLAND by Fabio Sassi

TO GEORGIE
by Erren Geraud Kelly

long legs hang from shorts
like stalks of wheat, her half-white, half turkish
body is tan all over, smooth as coffee
she is kicking a soccer ball
in my dream or locking her legs
around me
i discover her dreams for the first time,
they validate her dad's warning
she is 17 and her dad warns her
she's about to reach the age
when guys don't think of her mind
but as a "sexy spice girl"
i am the sparrow on her window sill
watching her write her secrets down
i want to know peace in an embrace
my hands finger her black hair
the sweet breeze against her ass
deliberate as my breath
a thought held in my own eyes
