Before the Supperbell Rings by Josh Bond

Wait not until the wild 

tiger takes you over
but let yourself run free
before the supperbell rings
drift no more through the fog
of wondrous plots tangled
in their contrivances
hold on to the pitch of your story
so the rubber bullets cannot reach you
nor the ones you love
the starwheels of fortune 
may bless and guide you 
a homecoming awaits you
in the now and here 
and silence 
will be your friend
amidst the fire of life

After… by Pablo Cipher_O Martinez

How many of us will follow

the imparted wisdom
of the vessels sanctified

by joys and sorrows

of different seasons

?

Will those that

follow

regret

not

slipping out

the

window

doing parkour

to

a parked car

?

Will the night

ever

be that alive

again

?

Do all roads lead to the same destination?
