Poetry

• Brad Pitt Sells You His Doppelganger’s Home by Philip Coffeen

  He was useful once, when I needed him for a scene in

  shallow grave surrenders corpse

• These Trees Outside the Window by John Grey

  prayed that it would take root
  in this strange soil,
  mop up some of our loneliness

  drunk on dreams of high-sorcery,
  craving secrets with every breath.

  and the snows kept falling.

• He Wanted by Stephanie Smith

  such as they were,
  in the old kit bag,

• Brain Cookies by Kaolin Fire

  elevate themselves above the pale
  rotting, misbegotten and forgotten dead;

  from her shallow
  winter bed, cold fingers

• Blood Brother by Angel Zapata

  Sometimes positive, sometimes negative,
  but irrevocably in control, he beats my heart,

• Untitled Poem by Greg Schwartz
