88 Jubydream turtle: falls in love, gets his throat cut while on the east side. spends time in the flower shop on the corner. paints skulls in infants’ eyes on posters as he walks. stops in the park to preach a sermon to wandering cats. delivers instructions to ransomees on various pay phones. it is soft-shell season. he stops for blue crabs, considers the irony. —Robert Beveridge
89 Leah Oates Across the Phosphorescent I don’t want to hear about what actually happened— instead, we’ll talk about the summers we spent diverting rivers and flooding unsuspecting valleys, how the waters gamboled forth and how hands flailed in the redolent air. Let’s celebrate the nights we fused the animate with the dead, created our warriors of decay and set them aflame, heedlessly marching them across the phosphorescent blood pools where we could no longer dare to go. We know there’s no escape from this infected uterus— the allure of floral mutations and the way our dreams seem so much less real than our terrors: how I can smell you still, remembering just how the golden-leaf of your skin tasted. —Richard King Perkins II
