In Regards To Tansy Arvensis
June 15, 2008

In a glass case, on a shelf in a jar, is all that remains
of a woman named
Tansy Arvensis.
How is it that Tansy

who once performed as
a Fire Breather, a Sword Swallower and Trapeze Artist for a Traveling Circus ended up in a jar on a shelf in a museum?

52nd Avenue West

by Anita Marie Moscoso
inspired by
Portals and Pavements
One night
in my neighbor’s front yard
I saw a man digging  a hole just up off of the sidewalk

I asked the man if he was burying something.
Buzz. Hum. Click.
Maybe it was one of [...]

Footprints In The Sand

at the end of the world?
Would the air smell the same?
If I put my hands to my face and screamed would I sound the [...]

It was me and two of my friends and we were going into a room that’s hidden behind a false wall.
We were back there because I promised to show them a workroom I found after an earthquake hit Seattle in 2001 and after going into it that one time I never went [...]

He writes and acts and produces a show called ” Cute With Christ “.
 On the surface it looks like his show is silly jokes and cute animal pictures…but look a little  more closely and what [...]

The Tree
March 15, 2008

by a.m. moscoso 
inspired by
 ” The Identity Poem “
 My family
comes from The Cold and The Quiet and The Dark
I am from a regrettable garden that is in the center of a green field where grey stones and granite leave it’s mark above forever.
My family’s tree is leafless and bent and it casts  shadows across tables where no one feasts and everyone [...]
