An
international online magazine that
publishes Surrealist poetry
in English.
Issue One
ROBERT BEVERIDGE Blacktop Lips on skin bedecked with ink. Planned out and etched, built around the different contours of our bodies. Man, woman, the number line graded between the two. How a fragment of map on an inner thigh can be back alleys in Riga for one person, Pennsylvania Avenue for another, but all is territory. It is only those who cannot find a way to share who feel the need to draw lines in the dirt with blood, with skin, who feel a need for wings to crest their own walls. Bricks and mortar can as certain build a gate, let the good paved road continue, as a barrier. We each have two hands to hold, ten fingers to kiss. Hoodoo Man Business suits sit at accountants' desks absent their owners. Assembly lines shut down, the robots on strike for all-synthetic oil and muzak changed to the work of Jeremy Soule. The final cigarette company has gone out of business. Last survivors of the plague cower in their homes, assume the census taker infected, act accordingly. Robert Beveridge makes noise (xterminal.bandcamp.com) and writes poetry just outside Cleveland, Ohio. Recent and upcoming appearances in Pink Litter, The Ignatian, and YuGen, among others. |
