Outside the emotion
Outside the emotion, outside the explanations,
outside our greed, our peace and our despair,
the doing-down in print, the wisdom and its teeth:
the nights with voices like candle-flames
and your breathing.

The Wait
by Richard Brautigan
It seemed
like years
before
I picked
a bouquet
of kisses
off her mouth
and put them
into a dawn-colored vase
in
my
heart.

But
the wait
was worth it.

Because
I
was
in love.

Bonus Poem:
18 Lines towards What

‘I um...’
Antoine Emaz

I rise and fall as the temperature does
A seasonal bargain of the season
Seasonal story rain sun mercury moon
I bring down all done up as if in ribbons
Arthur’s little car
And climb to the slotted ramparts or drop snow
Tear off another page time passes ages me
Look down at the teeny car it’s completely gone
You can’t see its back you can’t see the back of the donkey on the road
You can’t see the road itself now yet we must go on
On foot on foot on foot
Distract ourselves with a red shoe on the left or a green one on the right
Especially when the winter plays its rotten trick with pipes
Its deeply unfunny joke about black ice its old low mass
I we go up go or down without an arse is us no daffodil
Or else a crowd, a host according to predictions astral or disastral
Come on come on let’s move
The paradise we’re being ousted from is very lost.

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.
