The new Thirteen Myna Birds flock has arrived!With new offerings by Darla Mottram - Jacklyn Janeksela - Jennifer Lothrigel - Darren C. Demaree - John Thomas Allen - Martin Willitts Jr. - and a few peculiar creatures by Jennifer MacBain-Stephens still creeping out from under the bed at the bottom."the contrary is carved in skin - two hieroglyphic lines slanted sideways - flame spree of screams ring - in the bathroom with a kitchen knife - it is an eye cut open & left for dead - all small voices are never heard - I chase the voices - try to cut loneliness with scissors - I can still remember the tiny shudder - asterisk stars blown from smoking lip gloss tubes - trickling down the hallway, a heart or a beast - the swirling cloud, the unsettled dust - trample a seed if it escapes"HERE - http://13myna.blogspot.com/

The first Thirteen Myna Birds flock of 2016!

The first Thirteen Myna Birds flock of 2016 has arrived!Brimming with disconcertingly delicious poetry by Jennifer MacBain-Stephens, Julia Gaskill, Kristen Williamson, Charles Cicirella, and Davide Nixon.too many legs swiveled over - sliced the earth - thunder cloud behind glassy eyes - the smiling pictures on walls, cracked - all bone rubble and crying muscles - and the sickly pangs of joy - sleeping silently next to me - how we bend and do not break - before you become sour and muted - legs will only bend so far back before they snap - ooze glitter, and spit powdered make-up - the word “sorry” across her forehead - drown in a sea of black balloons...STEP INSIDE - http://13myna.blogspot.com/
