Serene Demons
[by S. David] [art by Darcy Merante]

Well done
I say
Well done
And now
Take your rest
In the warmth
And the glow
Of the fires
Of Hell
You’ve given
The world above
A solid blow
And each of you
Contributed well

So they were told
So these demons
Rested so serene
In the bowels
Of Hell

The Death of the Lady’s Man 2
[by S. David] [art by Chuchumuru (Carlos Cortes)]

He was a rue
He was a rake
A Don Juan
A Casanova
Dashing magnetic
Energetic once
He approached
A woman she
Would could not
Leave him alone
He did not spend
Many nights alone
And a juggler
So many at once
Until he was found out
Until he was found
And now some of the
Many having compared
Lives celebrate like
The Baptist his head
Lies on a platter
Jealousy is a
Powerful emotion
Hate is another
They cloud reason
Though not vengeance

The Moon Can Give Testimony Only
[by S. David] [art by Pari Ravan]

There were stories
There was a history
Now nothing
Only ruins
What had been
A house
A manor
Where the plain
Ran down
To the sea
Ruins
The moon knows
No one hears now
Nor even sees now
And the moon
Can give
Testimony
Only
To the night

Vast Universe
[by S. David] [art by Audrey Frank Anastasi]

What in the night
Frightens
Think
Of the world
So large
It appears
As you face it and
The immensity
Of night
The forest
Sounds
That haunt
That trick
The mind
Into fears
Of what
A clearing
In truth
All is relative
To the vast universe
This is
A small world
Yes to you
Large
To a mouse
Infinite

The Invisible Woman
[by S. David] [art by Julie Unruh]

Back and forth
And she chooses
What she will be
Crossing that bridge
Both ways and then
Was it a broken heart
Or something else
There was a change
Found herself feeling
Invisible to everyone
Else let’s not get
Into the psychology
Accept her
Determination
So now she’s ready
To play arsonist burn
Her bridges behind her
She can try

1847 Mictlancihuatl [1]
[by S. David] [art by Arturo Macias]

Was I not born
To die
Again
And again
My bodies
Lie in
Become earth
And
Again
And again
My Spirit
Leaves
Returns
To the One
My Soul
Flies free
Again
And again
Returns
Rebirth
Another life
Another body
Awaits
Mictlancihuatl
