Six Poems
by Fred Ragsdale
“Beneath the blind cut-out / of an afternoon spent / in misdirection, / a retro-reflection / kicks sideways / off a tricycle / tossed haphazardly / between a rosemary bush / and a leafless acacia tree.”
Hypervigilance
by Foy Timms
“Beneath the sober geography of the night, / boy-men stalk a scavenger feast, / beyond civilisation and trust.”
Two Poems
Poetry by Tim Frank
“There’s a man / Treading inner city tracks / And darkened underpasses, / Creeping towards his fate.”

Six Poems
by Douglas Twells
“Creeping trains in downtown Seattle / sound soft horns at 3:00 a.m. / They serenade insomniacs - travelers / who stir in their rooms in the Alaska Building.”

Brave New World
by Sia Mehta
“My father has German blood, did you know? That means I have German blood, too. I hope that the Nazi ghosts won’t tell me where they hid the bones.”
