March 2008 — The Minotaur’s Breath

Poetry

• Oil Change by Greg Schwartz

  poison running through his veins
  but they can flush it out

• Resurrected by Doc Blood

  As I long to see you once again,
                 {nothing but darkness, shadows…}

• County Hospital, 4am by Christopher Hivner

  out breathe breathe breathe one
  more hard push yes there

• My Lovely Lady Sleeps by Adam Drew Davis

  I sometimes speak to her and wish
  that I might hear her weep.

• Something Worse by Brian Rosenberger

  We were used to it
  comedy and tragedy
  on nature’s stage played out

• Magic Words by Brian Rosenberger

  A moment
  all he needed
  to capture his composure

• In Bloom by Kristine Ong Muslim

  Shriveled butterflies gather on the
  blackened nail beds like pixies

• Under Cover of Darkness by Guy Belleranti

  they rise from their graves
  and spread among the alleys

• Recompense Reprise by Charles A. Gramlich

  I have not stood in white as king beneath the spotlight’s glare.
  And I have not led ten thousand men into death’s cold stare.

• And then she licked their blood by Terrie Leigh Relf

  I didn’t have a clue
  not the slightest hint

• Haiku of Damocles by Anthony G. Bernstein

  Wherever I tread
  there’s a sword atop my head

• The Minotaur’s Breath by N. C. Whitehead

  while her soul rose up
  as the wisps of his breath

• Fools’ Errands by Stephen M. Wilson

  Medusa wed
  a hunk of cheese
