NOÖ [14]Elizabeth J. ColenPearl HarborWhen I heard “break squelch” I thought “smear the queer.”The games the boys would play.Admiral stared across the water, never played hopscotch as a boy, never played cricket.Air dense with cloud from water to endless.Did you know he would do this? my mother asked, handling the officer’s card.Three broken windows in the bitch’s yellow house. He never learned to play nice.Sunset over the Pacific, but we were riding out of it.The days grew shorter with speed.Cards in a footlocker, 51, plus jokers.Sailor searched the floor for that diamond four, not worth much, but still.What did they knowand when did they know it?My brother drew a picture of her severed head.We didn’t tell the cops.Frank rolled back. Said he didn’t want to know.Or did he? Evidence shows we could decipher code.Evidence shows we couldn’t. Endthe war. My brother put his fist through his bedroom wall.42
NOÖ [14]Stock-StillWe step into the rain like a film, gallons of iceas if we are athletesor coaches of athletes finishing an important gamewe are the important game,you and I, our gain in this film stillwhen all is dead and quietwhen I dreg up these types of tearsin order to make weather happen.Katie Jean ShinkleSomething before or against, for or against, the shiftof body weightwhen dead. How the eyes either close or remain open—even afteryou’ve shoved them down. Even after, they comeback up, like when you try to drownanything, it may float, the bricks might not work.This is how the boys get rid of the evidence. This is howthe girls put their hands up each others skirtswhen the boys are gonetake too long, or whatever, the girls say.When really, they find their fists fit better once insidethis frame than that.“Unterwelt” c. 1951 Walter Schnackenberg43
