She is the taste that leaves me withered
and sore
but still
My lips tremble in anticipation of her
I crave endlessly
her porcelain shoulders
slim and flushed
against satin sheets and velvet pillows
devour me
til dawn
til death
let me
inhale
all that you are
“Hunger” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
Artwork by Pledant:
copper cricket
in the shadow
cursed with cheerful melody
all your chirping
deafens you
to blue notes
in your
memory
“Animus” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
stars
flower from the glowing moons
that dance to rhythmic beams of white
In a glimmer, they embrace
the pulsing beat of space
and time
“Moondance” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
Artwork: “Hush now baby” by Sammy Slabbinck:
drapes drawn
in peach and white
caress my lips
and shield my eyes
from grisly hell
and growing gloom
til all the world’s
a flowery room
“Blinded by the Light” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
In the orchids
lies a warrior
gleaming like a ruby torch
come to me
in violent whispers
I will satisfy your thirst
– Angie
Artwork by Cardboard Cities:
silver seeds of inspiration
drowning in a sea of grey
the keenest eye
is blind to lights
that swim
across its face
and back
“Lost” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
Artwork: “Dive” by Sarah Cruce:
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom
as it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
in the humming wires
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand
You’re one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand
Lyrics by Nick Cave
Artwork by Romain Zamet
sleep a while,
heavy soul
weary traveler
red and old
bury burdens in the sand
trust
that sleep
will make you whole
