La via real la city royale
Could kiss you for all the times spent
giving alms to the nameless.
Never mind.
When I see a bike chained up it reminds me
I hope you got away for good.
Beyond the wheel a
dash for listing wishes
Drive until one p.m.
Become a pioneer of the future
Forget to speak in past tense
Don’t ask about love at Lola’s
The complexion of the moon a
Waning hue
In the blind of sunlight
The next morning
a paradox:
pedestrian vs. crosswalk
Does it matter
Now,
On a constellation axis
The earth remains devout

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
