The Long Goodbye

sleep a while,

heavy soul

weary traveler

red and old

bury burdens in the sand

trust

that sleep

will make you whole

The Dragon

breaths of flame

that hunt and sting

wound the wicked

and the pure

for her body,

sheathed in glamor,

lusts for choirs

of agony

pierced and beaten

by the brave

who broke her slumber with their swords

now hate

and scorn

are in the blood

that feeds her heart

and burns for more

Dreams

Let this Hell be our Heaven

Silent Death

Frozen pond

with face of blue

iced and rigid

in the night

winter’s spell

upon it’s skin

even when

the sun shines bright

more warm than death

more cool than life

trapped

love’s eternal frost

Zombie Series Postponed

In the interest of continuity, we have decided to publish The Golden Age of Zombie Apocalypses during our Halloween Series.

A Girl and her Fox

Don’t be fooled

by the fox that I got

I’m still

Jenny from the block.

The Storm

emerald castles torn from earth

thrash above us

violently

beasts and belles

together fly

like sparrows

in her rageful eye

though mother’s mouth

is strong as steal

it wilts and dies

like you and I

when things come down

we’ll rest with her

in satin sheets

so tenderly

“The Storm” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse

The Body

onyx fingers curl

and stretch

through stone and steal

through blood and death

heaven glows in all of her

the sky below

the sea above

coming slowly

like the daylight

orange, red, and yellow flow

all is brilliant

like the morning

worn but strong in clouds of silk
