Meow Meow Pow Pow

"Do you know that coin popping down my throat was so comforting that I found another and do you know I went to bed dreaming of how those two dimes might call to each other in the squish of my insides"

Broadside for a poem by Alison Lubar. The title is against a glittery pink background. The poem under it is against an image that has almost entirely been faded to white. Maybe of a classroom. There is a disco ball on the right and the logo and press address in the bottom corner. The New Queer Cosmology for Us for Them by Alison Lubar "Seyton, I am sick at heart." Oh Montero, so am I. This denial of biological complexity, perceiving diversity as a threat. If we can take that cherry blossoms burst every year, as fact, then why not that someone is exactly who they say they are. It makes just as much sense that we're all furrowed&bodiless brains in vats of synthetic amniotic as the fact that I know who I am better than you ever could. When they tell us to go to hell, do they know they've made it here on earth? And that in each night, in the thumping dark, amidst the disco ball flash and iridescent sweat, we've made heaven a place on earth, too? #MMPPISLIT www.meowmeowpowpowlit.com

"The New Queer Cosmology, for Us, for
Them" by Alison Lubar, part of our current theme, Cat's Out of The Bag. Listen to the writer reading the poem on the site:

Image of a baseball field with the poem "Baseball Images That Precede Unfortunate Events" by Nate Logan that reads: It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a record playing backward to cry. Which way, Western man? The most average city and its university famous for architecture majors. An “adrenaline-fueled action adventure” was not how I would describe it. I knew more about saints than I cared to. Baseball images that precede unfortunate events. One canvas of black paint for me and one tolling doorbell for you.

House of Flies by Jodi Balas It was Good Friday when you came in. thick coat of oil - sin slicked hair pushed back into the memory foam. It was raining on the night I told you how her mouth was a vacuum. Swirling above my head is a cave of teeth - a blown matchstick. A body is only a body you say so cavalier, spitting shards of bone in a bucket. What do you say with a mouth full of ash? How do you tell your mother she was right? Sheets fold under the ore of April under your eyes, I'm horizontal. No light still no light I meant to say I started covering my mirrors at night. The Irish still housing cadavers below their floorboards - where behind every man is a shadow of a man. I ripped off the band aid more than once for you a scar resembling a murder of crows - the necropolis of birds. A body is only a body close your eyes for long enough and you'll start to see how easy 1 could swallow you, just ask the fly in the merlot, the bag of feathers I carry on my back.

"What do you say with a mouth full of ash?"
