7985 Joker
[by S. David] [art by Marina Bozin]

Is this God
A God
God as
Joker as
Trickster as
Tester as
Creator of
Angels even
Humble Angels
And He calls
Down Light
Holds up
A hand speaks
And another
Angel appears
And He tasks
Each with tasks
Of difficulty
Of impossibility
Of incomprehensibility
To we mere mortals

8200 Tainted Covenant
[by S. David][art by Jon Enigma Jaylo]

The deal
Too good
To be
Right
You are
Are you
The “sucker
Born
Every minute”*
No you’re not
Too smart
So come
Sign
On the dotted
Line
He was no
Snake-oil
Salesman
Selling
A tainted
Covenant
He was
The snake
Itself
And you
My friend
Signed
Away
Any chance
Any rights
Any recourse
Of course
Country hick
Thinking
You’re slick

8198 A Never Ending Hope
[by S. David] [art by Jon Enigma Jaylo]

As Diogenes found
The search for
An honest man
Enlightenment
Is never ending
So too Tantalus
And
So the carrot
Before the horse
Yet hope springs
Eternal
And the one
Who knows
Is the one
Who knows not
‘Gowin fishin’
And this fish
Follows but
Cannot bite
The prize
Always
Out of reach
But the road
Leads on
Let the traveler
Be eased
Hitch a ride
At least
No Jonah
Inside

8187 Woman with Dandelion
[by S. David] [art by Paco Vera Puig]

I had to look
Close you see
Sometimes
The images
The art
Is not easy
On the
Interpreting
Eye
And I thought
She was
Levitating
No that’s
Another
Picture
She’s nude
I think
On a stool
Perhaps
Getting ready
To do a
‘He loves me
He loves me not’
With
The dandelion
She’s holding
But
Her hair
Hangs below
Her waist
She’s lovely
But
What a waste
She’s not
Here
With me

8179 The Dream
[by S. David] [art by Liviu Burlea]

Cigarette dream
Fueled by
Exhaustion and
Need
Hung over
It mattered not
The day’s passing
Time could be
Sidestepped
Easily
The ashtray
Placed exactly
Cigarette
In hand
Eyes closed
Inhale then
Let the smoke
Escape
A cloud above
Your head
Dream
Do not
Open your eyes
‘Til the cigarette
Burning down
Burns your hand

8095 Listen to the Wind
[by S. David] [art by Liviu Burlea]

She stood before me
Wind blowing her hair
I can’t forget
That day
We had driven
Out to the country
A state park
We walked a bit
To reach
An overlook’s edge
She turned to me
Behind her flat land
Spread out
From the woods
We had passed through
It was our third date
A fall date
She looked at me
A quizzical look
On her face and
Unbuttoned her blouse
Her breasts
Were full
I held my breath
I had wished
I had hoped
I had not
Expected her
To match my needs
A few moments
We were wrapped
Together
I asked her why
“Listen to the wind
If you want to know”
And it spoke
To our bodies

8092 But I don’t Believe in You
[by S. David] [art by Nick Harris]

There are
Other places
Not here
But there
Other places
Other worlds
Other dimensions
Some to be reached
Science
Some to be reached
Spiritually
Some to be reached
Stepping across
You can
Just
Do it
Look see
Ah but what
Happens when
Two from
Different and
Neither
Ours meet
Come
It happened
A mysterious
Place whose
I will not tell
But listen
As Death and
A Fey first
Meet who
Speaks does
It matter

8080 Anyone for a Snowball Fight
[by S. David] [art by Nick Harris]

The hell you say
Well this is it
Hell my friend
You’ve arrived
Reached the goal
You’ve long sought
In word and deed
And it’s worse
A demon greets
You at the maw
No St. Peter here
Torments await
But a new one
A cunning one
To tease not even
Hurt you
You’ve said it
So many times
Look around
Here before you
Enter
Here it is at
The portal
Hell seemingly
Frozen over enjoy
The entrance
To your worst
Dreams but
Right now
Anyone for
A snowball
Fight

8050 Woman in Love
[by S. David] [art by Bayou Faiza]

And they pervade
Your body
Your being
Your posture
Your carriage
Your face
When emotions
Run strong
Run hot
There is
A set
To a person
Others
Some others
Can see
Perhaps it is
That mysterious
Body glow
And here
In the pool
In the bath
He looked
At her back
And he knew
She was yes
She was
In love
But was it
With him

8038 Perdida de la inocencia
[by S. David] [art by Julia Fernandez]

Time love
The toys
Put them aside
You’ve put
Your toes in
Kicked off
Your heels
Kicked up
Your heels
No no waste
And only in
A vestige
A loss of
Innocence
For you are
You are
And butterflies
Ecstatic
Butterflies
Flitter
Though
Tasted
You still
Taste
Of that
Joy that
Beguiled
Smile love
Bring me
You again
Found

8034 Child of War 1
[by S. David] [art by Bayou Faiza]

War
Which war
Any war
Since ideology
Reared
Its ugly head
Any war
And there is
Death
Maiming
Tears
Grief
Separation
But life reaches
Out must
Reaffirm
Itself and
Goodbyes
Passion
And children
And war
Strikes home
Winners
Losers
Children
Of the war
Any war
Maimed
Behold what
War has done
Let the architects
Fight
The wars
