the street sweeper
Luke Harvey over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
The cockroach of the interstate,he scurries on the walls of streetswith feathered feet that whisper secretsof the night to sleeping asphalt. Perched above the road, he trainshis eye to trace the shoulder’s curve,guiding his discus brush to swirlthe line like ballerinas spinning on stage. Inside, the world is still.With wrinkled hands he plays the screensand […]

First Kiss
Malcolm Glass over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
Senior Prom, May third, nineteen fifty-two.The lights lowered for the last dance and our shadowed first kiss, kept like a flowerunfading. Arthur’s Swing Band mellowed, to spotlight the husky crooning of Miss LouParsons, “Goodnight, sweetheart,” at the hour of wishing: “In my dreams tonight I’ll hold you,” as we’ve held each other from that midnight […]

Purgatory
Annelise Tate over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
Perhaps the hairpin pupil of a child’s eye,is where all the lost things go to hide,burrowed back in the folds,of underdeveloped matter,in a squishy skull,soft down hair spattered,in our moments of regression,it’s shame that burns our eyes,and blinds our senses,So then all things lost,live in the foggy memory of our evolution,the grey landscape we can’t […]

Her Journey
Malcolm Glass over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
– for Charla Two brown eyes, framed by spraysof pine needles, stared, blinked. The fawn lowered her head. This is a once-in-a-life, she thought,as she lifted the camera to her eye.The camera strap rustled, and the deer bolted. Her mama quickly herded heraway. In the viewfinder the focusingdots nervously flickered trying to find those eyes. […]

Like A Dog
Logan Davis over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
“Let her strike me, it relieves her heart… it’s better that way.” –Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoevsky I’ll show for her my trick And yet will come the scolding.I will endure her kick For the prize she is withholding. She’ll pet my spotted mane For sitting near in silence;I’ll speak one word untame And surely […]

i think my grandma’s going to die
Helena Pantsis over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::
Butterflies only live for two weeks and the fruit fly lives for a day. I’ve never left the country. Snails can sleep for three years and shrimps keep their hearts in their heads. I don’t like my name. I detest my smile. And the footprints on the moon will live for a hundred million years. […]
