Between Silences
You pounce,
Opening the floor for debate,
Weary, I seek escape,
But you pin me in temporal urgency,
Drowning out the pleas,
Jaws poised and ready for
Snapping pride
Spiral
Inert,
To the waking eye, but I know,
The green buds your head grows,
In mathematical logarithms,
Conical fractals,
Tender textures that stir,
My taste buds
Amir Begovic
Control lost
Radio dead
Stomachs lurching now
As we spiral down to fate
Cruel fate
Try to control the nature of the world
But we die in a plane
***
Eyes flicker
Around, around
Searching for a tale
To erase this wicked gloom
Silence
“Just take the ring to Mordor! I beg you!”
Sighing, he acquiesces
Coralie Donkers
Between Silences
Worlds shake and shift
Silence is a moist sheet
Forming cracked rifts
Shhh
Lovers meet
Givers gift
Breathe
Katrina (or Something That Spirals)
Circling winds
whisper symphonies of
tendrils twisting
with
Time, leaving
landscapes
Blank.

The insomniac
It's quiet.
After the suite's long day, not a sound
can be heard.
The sun brings out motion and commotion
And a fresh day filled with fierce emotion.
But it is late once more.
All are serene, at ease. Aside from me.
Anger
It started
As a discussion between two people.
Ordinary.
Unable to see eye to eye, annoyed,
The calm atmosphere deteriorated.
Undisciplined screaming,
spinning faster and faster into rage.

“You’re Saying a Foot Massage Don’t Mean Nothing, and I’m Saying It Does”
“Uncomfortable silences.
Why do we feel that it’s
Necessary to
Yak about bullshit?” Shut up.
‘Cause “That’s when you know you’ve found somebody.”
When you can shut up for a bit, quoting
In between.
“No One Can Draw With an Icing Packet”
Sallow crust, not as advertised,
Nonetheless crisp,
Encases the slimy pastry
And goo.
Cut.
Squeeze.
Your carefully drawn spirals smear.
Benjamin Steinher
Between Silences
Frozen air,
crisp morning shadows filtering the sun
on the grass.
A quick breath taken at the crack of dawn,
eyelids flickering
behind crystallized glasses, taking in
all that is pure design.
Spiral
To the right,
Perfect for carpenter’s belts and buckets,
Made of steel.
Hang a picture, make two things become one,
Whether steel or brass,
Both cross-head or flat-head compatible,
Spiral in to hold tight.

A Perspective on Silence.
void, blank, zero
nothing
what can be between an eternity
a deaf man observes endless hush.
Awkwardness
presenting itself in the silence,
a break for his hand
***
Your Trip will Bring you Around.
Pick your dose
relax
find your comfy nook a with spacious view
graceful axles, preformed by sky
inward twists
caution, your conscious will circulate
end. Back to work.

#1
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
There goes your chocolate bars.
Did you want them?
Sorry.
I was going to give you a break
Off a piece of this kit kat bar
But you were too slow.
#2
My tummy
It yearns for good chocolate
Rich, creamy ones
Sh!
There it goes grumbling for its fill
My stomach expresses itself
Between silences
Something that Spirals
#1
Spiraling
The milk chocolate creates a delicious
Maze
Stir after stir, a whirlpool is made
There is a race to get to the
Center of the cup
#2
I must run
I must sprint from him
I have stolen
Treats
I have taken his chocolate stash
It is a special collection
These chocolate spiral.

Breaks in the Silence
Shouting, yelling, crying,
The heaviness of a day of fighting;
Whispers abound,
Weighed down by harmful secrets;
Heat is released and ice consumes the air;
Our conversations ignite and conflict,
All between the silences
Life
Down and down, down it goes,
Where it stops nobody knows, passed control,
Fast, unstable;
Chaos, dizziness, swirling,
So unpredictable and confusing;
We have lost control, we have lost our grip;
Life spirals out of control
Krinjal Mathur
There all alone
Solely able to see them
Thoughts
Whirling in and out of himself
Why
Where had he gone
Back to the noisy place that defied him
*
Hey, how are you
Replied the sweet little girl
Hello
How innocent and naïve
Youth
Sweet purity
Soon to hold no more place in that big heart
Sean Gaffney
Between Silences
A roar of thunder. The beep
Of
Cell phones
An outpouring
Of
Emotion so strong it brings tears
The murmuring of a crown
Spirals
Poliwag! I choose you cause
I,
I want
To be the best
Your stomach’s spiral is hypnotic,
It dominates Pokemon
Ethan Katznelson
The Time Between
In between
The silence that makes up our lives
Do we talk to fill the time?
Do we talk because we can?
Talk
Listen
All life is, is the time between
Spiraling out of Control
Its almost over
What is happening to our team?
This is not what we’re used to
Mistakes lead to more mistakes
Fight
Hope
The game is over. We lost.
Kevin Dumler
Breakfast Beer
Red cups scattered on the floor
Full of beer
Warm beer
Its gross
They are pretty flat
I wake up and stumble across the room
And drink my breakfast beer
Silence
When I go into the woods
I am alone
I sit
I think
I ponder the world
I imagine I’m floating on Walden
Silence swallows me whole
Albert Hsieh
Between Silence
That awkward moment
When they don’t know who you are.
It is awkward
When they don’t know you are cool.
It is a huge shame that they do not know.
But whatever let them be silent
When I’m around them.
Spirals
That super pounding
In my head just keeps going.
JUST CAN’T TAKE IT.
Probs I had one too many.
But that was seriously a great night.
But never again I told myself,
It just hurts too much.
Michael Arbeed
“Duty”
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click
Does he really want to go through with this?
Please, please don’t
BANG
Smoke is all around
Cough, cough, cough
“Good job soldier, you’ve done well”
DNA
Spirals in me
Keeping guard over my secrets
Passing down all of my strengths, all of my flaws
The former of which I have few
Hey, wait one second, DNA
What did I do to deserve this?
