POETRY: PAUL LIEBER – MOTHER IS A STOPPED CLOCK

Mother is a Stopped Clock Have you ever stumbled on one? The hands at impossible positions You try to adjust it, but you wind up tossing it out though the numbers are clear as numbers can be. Mother’s fingers travel over ivory as she forgets arthritis and picks out timeless standards. But she’s lost. She’s […]

POETRY: THOMAS N MANNELLA III – “PISCES”

“Pisces” February twenty-fifth, early morning, and the pond is iced. Rainbow trout, I think, sprinting to the house, puffing breath, but nobody cares except Peter, my little brother, so I walk to the glass studio to watch Dad work his blowpipe, play Bass Pro Shop on Xbox, and wait for him to join me. Today […]
