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
Cathy is in the twilight heat Before the summer night Moves like tectonic plates. She tells me stories Of shooting people in Vietnam During the war The rifle she used is under her bed. I saw it when she asked me To feed… Continue Reading “Tectonic Plates”
Cape Disappointment
Posted on August 3, 2020 by Elan Mudrow
Here, Saddle Mountain from a distance is a few uneven bumps. The jetties appear as pencil marks, drawn outwards towards the sea. The river wants to keep going, to stretch beyond the haze. A few old growths dot the forest, challenging the wind. They’re… Continue Reading “Cape Disappointment”
The Known
Posted on June 29, 2020 by Elan Mudrow
There is this quiet motion When wind brushes trees, Branches bend, a timeless marriage… When there are the smells of summer, Sticky pine and soft cedar… When rivers are a language, Creeping through echoes of green… When shadows move, slow, deliberate Undecided between dream… Continue Reading “The Known”

When Josephine The Singer Leaves
Posted on June 15, 2020 by Elan Mudrow
There’s a burning inside her and you can see it when she’s holding in her voice. You’re lucky she holds it in, for when it hits air, it cuts you. These cuts cause you to fall inside her furnace, scald you, sting your heart… Continue Reading “When Josephine The Singer Leaves”

Shelly
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”
Gerald
Posted on May 18, 2020 by Elan Mudrow
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”
