The Waltz We Were Born For

by Walt McDonald

I never knew them all, just hummed

and thrummed my fingers with the radio,

driving five hundred miles to Austin.

Her arms held all the songs I needed.

Our boots kept time with fiddles

and the charming sobs of blondes,

the whine of steel guitars

sliding us down in deer-hide chairs

when jukebox music was over.

Sad music's on my mind tonight

in a jet high over Dallas, earphones

on channel five. A lonely singer,

dead, comes back to beg me,

swearing in my ears she's mine,

rhymes set to music that make

her lies seem true. She's gone

and others like her, leaving their songs

to haunt us. Letting down through clouds

I know who I'll find waiting at the gate,

the same woman faithful to my arms

as she was those nights in Austin

when the world seemed like a jukebox,

our boots able to dance forever,

our pockets full of coins.

Cold Morning

by Eamon Grennan

Through an accidental crack in the curtain

I can see the eight o'clock light change from

charcoal to a faint gassy blue, inventing things

in the morning that has a thick skin of ice on it

as the water tank has, so nothing flows, all is bone,

telling its tale of how hard the night had to be

for any heart caught out in it, just flesh and blood

no match for the mindless chill that's settled in,

a great stone bird, its wings stretched stiff

from the tip of Letter Hill to the cobbled bay, its gaze

glacial, its hook-and-scrabble claws fast clamped

on every window, its petrifying breath a cage

in which all the warmth we were is shivering.

Cockroaches: Ars Poetica

by Chad Davidson

They know that death is merely of the body

not the species, know that their putrid chitin

is always memorable. We call them ugly

with their blackened exoskeletons,

their wall-crawlings as we paw at them.

Extreme adaptability, we say.

And where there‘s one there’s probably a million

more who lie and laugh in cracks close by.

At first they seem so pitiful and base

feeding on what we leave behind. Content

to watch us watching them, their hidden grace

is endless procreation: it keeps them constant,

believing they‘ll live to read our requiem

with the godlike eyes we used to look at them.

The War Works Hard

by Dunya Mikhail (Translated by Elizabeth Winslow)

How magnificent the war is!

How eager and efficient!

Early in the morning

it wakes up the sirens

and dispatches ambulances to various places

swings corpses through the air

rolls stretchers to the wounded

summons rain from the eyes of mothers

digs into the earth

dislodging many things

from under the ruins……

Some are lifeless and glistening

others are pale and still throbbing……

It produces the most questions

in the minds of children

entertains the gods

by shooting fireworks and missiles into the sky

sows mines in the fields

and reaps punctures and blisters

urges families to emigrate

stands beside the clergymen

as they curse the devil

(poor devil, he remains with one hand in the searing fire)……

The war continues working, day and night.

It inspires tyrants to deliver long speeches

awards medals to generals and themes to poets

it contributes to the industry of artificial limbs

provides food for flies

adds pages to the history books

achieves equality

between killer and killed

teaches lovers to write letters

accustoms young women to waiting

fills the newspapers with articles and pictures

builds new houses for the orphans

invigorates the coffin makers

gives grave diggers a pat on the back

and paints a smile on the leader's face.

It works with unparalleled diligence!

Yet no one gives it a word of praise.

Company of Moths

by Michael Palmer

We thought it could all be found in The Book of Poor Text,

the shadow the boat casts, angled mast, fretted wake, indigo eye.

Windows of the blind text,

keening, parabolic nights.

And the rolling sun, sun tumbling

into then under, company of moths.

Can you hear what I'm thinking, from there, even as you sleep?

Streets of the Poor Text, where a child's gaze falls

on the corpse of a horse beside a cart,

whimpering dog, woman's mute mouth agape

as if to say, We must move on,

we must not stop, we must not watch.

For after all, do the dead watch us?

To memorize precisely the tint of a plum,

curve of a body at rest (sun again),

the words to each popular song,

surely that would be enough.

For are you not familiar with these crows by the shore?

Did you not call them sea crows once?

Did we not discuss the meaning of "as the crow flies"

one day in that square - station of exile - under the reddest

of suns? And then, almost as one, we said, It's time.

And a plate shattered, a spoon fell to the floor,

towels in a heap by the door.

Drifts of cloud over

steeples from the west.

Faith in the Poor Text.

Outline of stuff left behind.
