  • BODY IMAGE Poetry Reading: A Bent Time of Day, by Dov Frank

    Performed by Val Cole

    POEM:

    They look like an accidental bird,
    Wings making grey angles
    Their thoughts move in rings around their ears
    And scrape against the sharp jaw lines,
    Movement horizontally, body stretching across
    only to snap back
    into embodiedness.
    Seeing them, I noticed how
    our spine...

    When terrorists start a war
    through unprovoked attacks
    on their neighboring country’s
    civilians,

    first blocks the missiles,
    then uses drones to cut down
    only the actual person who fired
    the last missile, but eventually,
    when enough missi...

  • EROTICA Poetry Reading: Leg Cast, by Kewayne Wadley

    Performed by Val Cole

    POEM:

    The way I feel
    lives in the muscle of your thigh
    right before it moves.
    Coiled in anxious yes.

    Waiting to reach past
    Its own name,
    to take control and grab you
    without hesitation.
    Every nerve at attention as hands
    clench and tighten around the air.
    The quiet game o...

    It’s been a long hot summer
    Our work’s been hard each day
    Routine is normal in our home
    We have no other way

    performed by Val Cole

    POEM:

    the warm, cheap wine
    doesn’t taste good but
    at least the sea is
    mine

    I chug what I should have sipped
    suppress what I could have done
    none of it matters, the money is gone
    my father is dead

    and the wine is flowing in my blood
    just lik...

    Performed by Val Cole

    POEM:

    Your brain is a sea,
    your irises my windows
    to watch you drown.

    You choke on waves
    meant to break on my shore.

    You choke on your own hair.

    From your skull
    tentacles peel,
    crawl down your face
    like purple ivy
    over my windowsill.

    You ...

    https://youtu.be/oDDFPWmUTHk

    Performed by Val Cole

    POEM:

    No raise, no money, no overtime.
    This pride ain’t built on a production line.
    Your cars, your drinks, your parking fines
    keep us down in the welfare line.
    We scream, we cry, we love and die.
    All for a crumb from the social pie.
    But who ...
