poetry






stream of consciousness beholds time's poesis, wind and rain tricklings, a daze of sun and arctic vision of inspired tongues, the will o wisp so long unspoken when art can be named poetry chartered into cornered visions, the aesthetic of an ever fickle soliloquy...

4 "The City, I" by Miles Allinson

The City, I title picture

Car parks have always struck me as the saddest of places.
Returning from cinemas,
with our eyes attuned to the process of perceiving a two dimensional image,
we are struck by the presence of the third dimension,
by the real.

Everything is heightened.

5 Listen> by Cassie Tongue

listen

point-click
type here, press the ʻenterʼ
key so loudly i can barely
hear the voices
screaming into mobile phones
(no one cares that dinnerʼs at
seven sharp and that heʼs
late again, that cad)
and i just want to
scream
rip the phone
from your ear
and throw it
into an espresso machine.

7 t sipping

history lessons. red is for
passion. so love the body
though it may be costly

on the oxygen reserves.
nitrogen can be tricky
with finger-trap treaties.

reach back to days gone long
ago getting along in a fellowship
keep track record sing-songs.

fingertips and fragile lips
undeniable squares and hips
let things loose and slip.

8 Travel song

It reminds you
of those adolescent hobo
ways of seeing
to make meaning.

That traveling
breaks white ceilings
This year,
when the sanctuary box locks
out feeling.
That road ,
thumb stretched
out on seering trails,
of jungle crossed
with rocky modes.

I scream out of the bedroom
take that chapter out of keroauc
Lean into the bitumen of sweat
and flies with an attack
of this disguise of bohemian pride

10 The Word Game

Speech Bubbles

She Tattooed The Word 'REMEMBER' Across Her Arm
I find a quote in a zine from Canberra which says you should never write anything you wouldn't have tattooed on yourself. I wonder if people in that city agreed maybe there would be less crappy laws being passed.
