NEW! A Collaborative poem by Martin Willitts Jr and Juliet Cook, "Stung By Misunderstandings" is making an appearance in TERSE.

"She hid a mass amount of Fire Ants inside the driver’s seat.

She had been collecting them for years, feeding them tidbits

of all the food he complained about."

"horizon filled with ground-up bones - from one failed relationship to the next - with rotting carcasses of jacked deer and discarded dead pets - flickering tongues like pine needles burning - is it funny is it a sad wreck? - do you remember why you never escaped from here? - you creep beyond the borders of your season - all the basements filled with water or with bones - He willed the ocean to approach and willed it back - lying on my back mouth open to the sky - for a red red snowflake to seize the day..."

New Thirteen Myna Birds flock!

The new Thirteen Myna Birds flock has arrived!

With new offerings by Darla Mottram - Jacklyn Janeksela - Jennifer Lothrigel - Darren C. Demaree - John Thomas Allen - Martin Willitts Jr. - and a few peculiar creatures by Jennifer MacBain-Stephens still creeping out from under the bed at the bottom.

"the contrary is carved in skin - two hieroglyphic lines slanted sideways - flame spree of screams ring - in the bathroom with a kitchen knife - it is an eye cut open & left for dead - all small voices are never heard - I chase the voices - try to cut loneliness with scissors - I can still remember the tiny shudder - asterisk stars blown from smoking lip gloss tubes - trickling down the hallway, a heart or a beast - the swirling cloud, the unsettled dust - trample a seed if it escapes"

"a disaster of blood petals - watch the hands waving distress flags - like a reverse mapmaker - moonlight cracks open - the moon burns - lacerated throat of the skyline - the ghosts got replaced - sunset hemorrhaging - impeded by grey"
