the pattern is woven through with threads in a darker angrier pink like the face of your high school sweetheart there are boys like him going through their ugly phase everywhere living like spools of fabric tightly wound until they can be sprung you turn from the pink folds toward the bolt of black and a sour faced woman in an orange smock slices off the amount you need to make blackout curtains how else can you darken the sun you ask her somehow you think she might know cheryl snell writes as revenge against reality share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new

weathered log overlooking the creek that would freeze by midweek about the time her greyhound would run her back to the city i come here sometimes for inspiration though i m more likely to find words on a crosstown bus here there is nothing i need add pure description is second hand news i write because it is fun a blank page is a challenge i write and revise and revise often i get to say where d

eyes of her newborn look at her intently she wraps him tightly in everything she has below at street level there is shouting and waving she kisses the child on his bronze forehead whispers his name and lets go eyes pressed shut two three seconds in which there is no sound no feeling only her heart clenched at last she opens her eyes to see her angel held up for her to see safe she crumbles down against the hard balustrade a single piercing wail joins in the chaos around her flames are licking the cracked balcony doors i write to hear the little songs that my mind wants to sing the writer

have left the intersection leaving our tail end vulnerable sometimes our brakes don t work spinning on black ice with blurred windows of reaction sometimes we must go slowly inching through the fog in

comment by mel fawcett poverty and hunger are knocking at the door abuse and moral turpitude are rife torture greed and exploitation rule but who cares about all that i ve got a pimple on my nose the polar ice is melting and the natural world is dying soaring temperatures are beyond our endurance and pollution is killing us all of course we re destroying the planet but what about the pimple on my

is large and takes up space and when it is there there is absolutely no room for anything else even though i feel the edges of it pressing against my insides and pieces of it get wedged in my throat the thing itself is hollow it is simply empty and barren and in that respect we are painfully the same the thing inside me and i often cry ourselves to sleep and in the morning my pillow is stained black my body heavy with all the things that are no longer inside it ren elisabeth she her is an emerging writer who enjoys exploring short fiction as a way to reflect on things that have happened
