Sarah Browning: Desire

September 1, 2020 by PBQ Leave a Comment

I took your large hand and raised it. Just this, I said, the tip of a finger or two – just to the nail or so – into my mouth, which had dreamed of just that. You made a sound I hoped was a gasp and I wanted – as I had for 30 years […]

Sadie Shorr-Parks: Good sleep

July 31, 2020 by PBQ Leave a Comment

Tonight is wonderful, considering. Earth is never urged to be so indigo, so chilled. Two crows settled in my tree, a boring mutt of oak and pine outside my kitchen window. I see their rainbow necks twisting while I eat breakfast. Naturally, my dreams are no longer good thinking grounds: swooping shadows on noon sky. […]
