Calliope Nerve X: Natural Born Poets

"We have to steal back the hallucination..." --Grant Morrison

Calliope Nerve Part X: Natural Born Poets is now available and free of charge featuring the work of Michele McDannold:

Café

We pick up from the streets, words
and skin stretched
thin over
mother's lips.
Dumpster love along the spillway, free;

sunshine through the way. She
dances to the jukebox, a knife in back of cowboy lust
to celebrate the waitress.

Open sign askew a door
of rust and nails of regret
scratchandspitandspew
coffee dust.

--Michele McDannold
