with your head down
in the young oxygen
as you fondled the stalks
unravelled the sap’s mood
and listened to the plant babies
singing to themselves
in their lush cradles

Huff and puff and I’ll blow
She collects the overspill straw from attempts at a crib
Huff and puff and I’ll blow
She collects all the sticks from the stick men game they got tired of playing

insert the moon
here
coral pink
the penny drops
no light
How weird was that a howl in the dark

prose poems
lyrical prose
fragments of sentences
pointless prose
pointless poems
useless poems
very short poems (just poems, not especially “haiku”; haikai is a bit tedious, right?)
Again: write your own stuff and do not send any crying/private-hurt-stuff. But keep it short.
Send a maximum 5 poems or 3 prose poems at a time and no simultaneous submissions. to: tob@megaga.dk
He practices techniques to ignore, explain, reconcile his daily affronts, fact that whole life is founded atop the graves, upon the backs of others, he was baptized in sweat and blood squeezed from countless invisible turnips, a rainbow of tones, oceans away. Likes to call it affirmations, being grateful, employing positive thinking…
tank on low
the bird pauses, gorges itself
to get back aloft
