The Phone Call
by Nathalie Handal
The phone line is on fire,
my cousin's spirit in flames
as she tells me
about Dar Al-Kalima
an occupied school, pre-K to 10th grade:
24 bullets on the English classroom door
not 1 door standing,
all crosses destroyed in this Lutheran school
and little Ibrahim, 10 years old,
now sleeps on his stomach

Sunday Paper
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Sunday rises gallantly from behind
Distant clouds, orange, on the wall
Of low, chintzy, tepid skies.
Bells sound with tamed decibels
Through tiny holes on top cupolas of
Rounded, gilded cathedrals to welcome
A yellow day that reclines on the edge
Of the week. Sunday salutes the spunk

Death Toll
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
It rises daily
On frontiers held hostage by death.
Piling up upon putrescence, alcoholic
Senescence regroups on formaldehyde,
Posting fumes on wreckages here and
Elsewhere among a frazzled earth.
Rashes develop on the skin of death,
Mangled by atomic leverage borne by
Lesions – scarred and bandaged on
White-and-blood crepes.

News, Lassies, News
by Robert Burns
THERE'S news, lassies, news,
Gude news I've to tell!
There's a boatfu' o' lads
Come to our town to sell.
Chorus.—The wean wants a cradle,
And the cradle wants a cod:
I'll no gang to my bed,
Until I get a nod.
Father, quo' she, Mither, quo she,
Do what you can,

News of Morning
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
As the golden sunshine greets a new morning,
I rise from bed refreshed and still yawning.
I cross the room lured through french doors,
By balcony blooms, green lake, and sycamores!
I delight in fragrance and in blissful views,
As I search eagerly for the golden day news.
Then barefoot I climb to the balcony railing,
Diving into clear green waters as birds sing!
Cadaverous Glare Of The Gutter Press
by Wieslaw Musialowski
Translated by Przemyslaw Musialowski 3/10/2019
Unleash media hounds,
tell them to bark and bite,
let the latest news
of foamed breeze
flow from the muzzles.
Send out into the ether,
let the whole world hear Polish loud voice,
