Blood Poems
sometimes I think I'm just too good for you
by Bogdan Dragos
He jumped off the building and
the metallic wings carried
him high
towards the clouds
where others like him swam in absolute
bliss
but then something
hit his head
and

The Dirty Robe
by Carl Rex
I got a clean white robe
It was all neat and pure
God bade me show it to the globe
Keep it safe n secure
I roamed all o'er the world
Most Joyous as I was
To all my precious robe unfurled
Displayed my pride and cause

sidewalk
by Bogdan Dragos

one upon whom your
feet dragged heavy and
wet and tired
and I wonder where you
are going
and where you're coming
from

Ol’ Bloody Brush
by Bogdan Dragos
the old man stank
but he

a lot of
teeth

I would like to look at the sky

neither laughs nor prayers, she will turn
all the names down and override them;
tonight my father will not remember

This morning a rounding sparrow sang,
announcing the catastrophe.
Evil At The Wayward Inn
by Faith Brigham
'No more boarders,'
the inn keeper spewed
raising her arms in the air.
People once came to the inn in droves
because it was a quaint little structure
with flower beds surrounding it

dead horse surgery
by Grace McDonough
You are not the one I hate.
In fact,
I loved that blue eye--
I saw it in my sleep

you exist most of the time
by Bogdan Dragos
you don't exist when

my blood's not poisoned
when my soul's at peace
when my gut is full
and when I'm in company
So you exist most of the time
dear muse
