One Spin Around
Posted on December 21, 2020 by Elan Mudrow
She’s not the one you know Not from long ago Those ancient structures gone The timing was all wrong Arrows missed their mark Mixed with heavy spark Gone is all despair Lost in exosphere —-No need to remember, she feels the spin… Continue Reading “One Spin Around”
Wishpoosh
Posted on September 21, 2020 by Elan Mudrow
Denny and I, with his Wasco legs, inside Gifford Pinchot… Late, when the dust of the gravel road settles, fast, into black… We cup our hands, to make an old whistle, like the hoot of an owl To settle our minds, to settle our… Continue Reading “Wishpoosh”
Tectonic Plates
Posted on August 17, 2020 by Elan Mudrow

Posted on May 25, 2020 by Elan Mudrow
Her makeup was a postmodernist painting, swashes of pinks and blues, wayward paint upon skin. When she put it on, she grinned, but didn’t smile. Inside, her voice was a thunder. Shook things. Came from her bones, resonated outwards, circles, waves. I imagine it’s… Continue Reading “Shelly”

He had lost an eye. Though, its orb still in its socket had turned a blurry blue, misty, had developed a different kind of sight. It was a pain experienced through years of looking, looking, searching. A pain no one could comprehend. Not even… Continue Reading “Gerald”
