joy posted a new Poem titled GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT 20 weeks ago
They asked the old man what he thought his greatest achievement was…
It took a moment for him to contemplate
Before saying with a smile,
“I suppose that depends on what you call an achievement…
and what is your definition of great.”... [read more] |

Beneath warm quilts, naked, the BoyFriends snuggle during refraction's
pause; and they watch (then) clandestine homosexual videos:
beautiful, naked young men who make love, or dance, or provocatively pose.
Then, again engorged, they proceed to... [read more] |

Pungus posted a new Prose titled Hitler's Car 20 weeks ago
Where were we? Rationally speaking, of course, a riddle swathed and swindled out of ignorance, given by oceanic nymphs. Permanent waves came. Mermaids no less. A quest ever so fragile, for our ship is frail, compared to the fabulous fair-... [read more] |
redbrick posted a new Poem titled the wonder of self-emptying 20 weeks ago
the wonder of kenosis
To empty is not to vanish.
It is to pour the vessel
until the air itself
becomes a listener.
What remains is not absence
but a widening —
a room where another voice
may enter and be heard.

آه يا عمّان أيتها النبويّة اللعوب
يا مهبط وحيي
ومسرى صبابتي
أشتاقك كما كنا.. جبليتان مكسوّتان بالفطرة والأهازيج
وسماويّتان موشومتان بقبلة الشمس
بعد أن أسلمتِها نشوة الأبدية
أشتاقك كما كنا.. برّيتان مُطعّمتان ببشاشة... [read more] |

There was a young gal named Patty
Who was born and raised in Cincinnati
Didn't root for the Reds
Took plenty of meds
Everyone thought she was batty
She'd say 'Wish I was from Kansas City
The gals there sure are pretty
I'd root for... [read more] |

Human Brickworks
We are the bricks, not of temples to the unseen, but of cities that rise from sweat and vision.
Each hand lays another, each voice cements the mortar of memory. The old boys built their halls of power, gilded... [read more] |

Oh Lord, let my soul, that You have redeemed, get naked

During the afternoon of the summer's most sweltering day,
Misha's torso, like his feet (beneath his jeans' cuffs), was bare;
his nipples (between them, profuse and very soft hair)
yearned for your mouth's and fingertips' play
as he invited you... [read more] |

Driving, he said, "Your friendship with BlueShift
"is really just a kind of Love."
This validation from him was like a soaring lift
into the various starfields in the sky above,
