the sieve and the sand

Leaving the wheat with the chaff. This is not your mother’s poetry.

my shoulders are breaking, my muscles are aching

by David X. Hugo

behind me are the ghosts
blowing up globes
and in front of me
is fear

With Corruption There is No Tower

by Tucker J. Collins

When Building the Tower
That measures your Greatness
Buy the impact you have on others
*
Foundation is first
Before you apply the mortar
To set each stone in place
*
Each stone is an accomplishment
Each stone is a breakthrough
Each stone is a fulfilled responsibility
*
Each dollop is the path you took, a choice you made
Each dollop is the crossroad that ultimately led to the outcome
Each dollop is the way you’re judged
*
The Strife that tests your love and faith
Betrayal that makes you writhe in pain
But shows you’re like Job, one and the same

by rcribay

i despise
this muted
feeling fearing
my words would
emerge burning
singeing your
ears or worse
your heart.

talented strings
bow brushing above yellow canvas
music to our ears
