The beautiful people - by Dayna Desastre

i think the most beautiful people are dead people.
they are always the most stunning, secretive; as if
leaving a legend behind is enough to cater beauty.

Stars, Moons, Uranus, Neptune and Mayans, Oh My! - by Linda Solomon
January 29, 2007 | 06:45 PM | Filed in: Writing
In March of 2003, Uranus entered Aquarius - the sign
it rules - and Neptune had been in Aquarius since
1998. In March 2003, Uranus entered Pisces. Uranus
remains in Pisces until 2011. This creates something
called “mutual reception” in astrology.
Neptune moves into Pisces in 2012 and, interestingly
enough, Pisces is the 12th house in the Zodiac wheel,
completing its cycle through the wheel into its own
house. Uranus begins its new trip around the wheel in
2012 when it enters Aries. This coincides closely
with the end of the Mayan calendar in
2012.read

Earthquake Dreams - by Judith Martin-Straw

How can I tell you a story I don’t want you to
hear? It does not make me look good, and it certainly
does not make you look good. I know you’ll find
the part with your name in it, and you’ll be
angry and disgusted with what you did, and even more
upset that the whole thing hasn’t been buried
and forgotten by now. In fact, I don’t know
that there is any hero in this story at all. Perhaps
only the survivors, and only they know if they
deserve to be lauded for their continued existence,
or reviled for their actions.read

Vanagon Ready - by Brandon Peterson

I’ve got my vanagon ready but it leaks a little bit and moss grows inside sometimes.
It’s an eighty-one, one of the first square kinds.
It came free with little amenities. It’s got wood bumpers.
Well, now it’s got just one – I hit a friends concrete carport and it broke into toothpicks.
It was a hazard so I had to remove the rest.read more...
2012 - by Allison Powell

In the year 2012 I will turn fifty and the book of
time cracks its own spine.
Imagining the future is the game of scientists and children rolling marbles and haven’t we all played?
The grass will be pink, skyscrapers seventeen miles high arc over the wafer of petrol blue air between Earth and Universe, Whales read our thoughts into sonnets, porcupines sing, it is possible to build a highway of dandelions.
Can you see it?read more...

Extinction - by Francesca Lia Block

the earth was crying trying to cool
her blistered skin with tears
the polar bears died without their ice
those sad little fishes
the birds with burnt wings
what have they done to us
