A Blood Red Ruby

 

I am a pool of blood red rubies

I was a single stone

A poison dart tore through me

And ripped apart my bones

 

Gaze into my facets

Gleaming in the light

Reflecting to the world

My Goodness at its height

 

Evil came to play one day

It bound and dulled my senses

I stole its own power

And rendered it defenseless

 

Evil left me broken

A collection of tiny jewels

Carefully I pull my trigger

And use them as tools

 

My aim is perfection

Cutting through your mind

A tiny blood red ruby

Is the gift I leave behind

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
