From "In the Shadow of the Sun"

Rise and fall
Beck and call

Slick with fear
          +
Newly born
Into eternity

Struggle up through
The sludge
Toward the light

Toward the safe
Writhing close
Soft hiss of breath
Closer- joy
Toward the light

The warm safe
Blinding, binding
Wet with tears
           +
A scream of rapture
Echo into eternity

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.

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.
