The Frayed Edge of Memory by James Croal Jackson

Published May 10, 2017
Chapbook - 44 pages, 5.5" x 8.5", ISBN: 978-1546495215
Excerpt
a week ago we soared through the sky
with all parts intact and fully functional.
I didn't need to look out deep, endless windows
we will never have the biology to fly, no matter
our construction, no matter the fantasy of the air-
and the air is a fantasy you breathe easy and pure
descend slowly on telephone lines beyond reach
to know what I am made of will never be enough.

poetry should be a lover
you can never get enough of...
