Shatter Bones Dance: Henry Peters
Shatter these bones that Ache to crumble and sprinkle These ashes of an ill-begotten history Into the light of day where all That is weak and dis-eased will be Seen at once and blown away to whence it came! Construct me your tower of Bable And leave me to curse for the Storm of renewal … Continue reading Shatter Bones Dance: Henry Peters
Trans HUMAN: Robert St. Germain
No more hatred. No more wars. Just a peaceful race of cyborgs. Everyone sharing a synthetic love, Not caring of hell or heaven above. All the old ways are obsolete. Nothing but peace in the streets.

The Surrealist Door: James Adamson

The door may have been old but the lines were straight and there was never water leaking under it metaphorically or as literal fact. … Continue reading The Surrealist Door: James Adamson

Piercing a path on a thin gravel road, through … Continue reading Fire Road: Cory Buchanan
