six

inches 
of black thread

tautly wrap 
this broken world 
into a ball

     knotted

     desire and despair
     swing -

     pendulum moods
     make us

Our first feature from issue 5.3 is with Jan Wiezorek. You can read his interview here www.facebook.com/share/1EwVW4...
...raw truth muscling 
the bricks, hot to touch, 
red-faced, alive like heat.
If l've prayed for this, 
let it cool me.JAN WIEZOREK
Holy Heat
Moles have stolen pattern from the red bricks, birdbath askew. I turned toward you, a leg, a shoulder, so you and me, as much as pattern, as socks folded, coffee pot cleaned, raw truth muscling the bricks, hot to touch, red-faced, alive like heat.
If I've prayed for this, let it cool me. Settling in,
to nothingness: going inside to place underwear in the night drawer, cool as birdbath.

Best wishes to all celebrating on this Canadian Thanksgiving Day. Check out the work of these authors from Canada. @timothyforner.com @kenstark.bsky.social @wendybayne.bsky.social @jenwithwords.bsky.social @ronaldmcgillvray.bsky.social @sylvia-rose-books.bsky.social @taggartrehnnauthor.bsky.social
Happy Thanksgiving!
A reminder on this Thanksgiving Day that we all must take the time to recognize and be thankful for all the good in our lives. As the writing community deals with this new reality of fewer readers, sales, reviews, page reads, and social media interactions, we must also be grateful for every reader, sale, and review. 
A special thanks to those of you helping fellow authors get the word out about their own work. The writing community is stronger when we stand together!
Wishing good health, and positive literary news to all!

“Here is what the water knows that you don’t: falling is not the problem. Falling is the whole point.” When a traveler connects with a landscape, beautiful things can emerge. This story is one of them by Mathieu Parsy in @lit-namjooning.bsky.social

Zoë Ryder White 💙 from THE VISIBLE FIELD (River River Books) I cannot get over how incredibly perfect this book is! @zoeryderwhite.bsky.social @riverriverbooks.bsky.social
Some sentences, some clauses, a word.

It took a long time to cross the room.
The room was so long.
The room had no ceiling because the house had no roof.
The floor was uneven.
Any round thing set on one side would roll to the other.
There was a collection of roundish objects to the left.
The windows were difficult to discern because there were no walls.
Some of us could hear the dead only as we started walking or just before we got there.
Others heard them all the time: singing, carrying on.
Below the floorboards, below the space below the floorboards: relics.
A cache of seeds and plastic.
Snow in a spilled globe.
The cast-off, spooned bones.
No longer necessary.
Necessary for such a short time.

Ok. I needed to fix a punctuation error, so here it is again. This one's got teeth! Loved writing it (for that reason😁) #STAYCREATIVE #prompt #poetry #blueskypoetry #writesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #fictionwriters #poets #creativewriting @madp03t.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/kare...
An object must be used correctly for a purpose it was never designed for
 
His exact words:
Well, aren’t you a handy gadget? 
 
He has no clue,
none whatsoever.
 
Am I an Allen wrench, 
nose tip pliers,
 
or worse, 
a 3-in-1 utility knife 
 
that opens cans,
unscrews corks 
 
and a blade so sharp 
it can scale fish
 
or someone like him?
 
Go on, I say,
tempt me.

A poem of mine in Touch the Donkey (touchthedonkey.blogspot.com/2026/07/touc...) #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social
Just Like in the Movies
They say there is no sound on the moon.
Please listen carefully to me.
What does desire feel like?
Like my tongue in your ear.
Like your hand in mine.
Closing credits go on and on and
on.
