In Wine Country
In Wine Country
by Alexis Faulkner
Dead field in a land flash
Wine-beaten and weathered in the late season’s sun
Who begs most for the water cast
From the clouds on the one
Wine-beaten and weathered in the late season’s sun
Who begs most for the water cast
From the clouds on the one
Wish of these golden hills
Globe glass waiting for deep, rich liquid
Pride of the fair skinned and faith-filled
Hard to remember what last night we all did
Most of all the earth demands waiting
Manicure the offerings to be rows upon rows
Ask for peace from labor and with it patience bring
To me the wealth and then land once more to sew
One time a prayer for the worker
Seen waiting only for the work
Tele-(communications)-machus
by Chris Alarie
As Odysseus looked
Out at the wine dark sea
He checked his phone & sighed
It seems the one challenge
He could not overcome
Was simple loneliness
What a fucking loser
The Flat of the Knife
by Douglas Slayton
it was the view
i didn't appreciate
but watched everyone
revel near that cliff
there have been walks since
they are always longer
i have been standing in the mirror
still finding evidence
i sit still sometimes
when the air is cool
and the light is obscured
i reconsider constantly
the way it tasted sweet
it must have been thick
in your blood
it lingered
on my fingers for days
sticky and inconsistent
leading me to misconceptions
