& Change Issue 6

www.Andchangepoetry.com


From this issue I tagged these two poems…


Grant Chemidlin’s I Hear the Shower Shutting Off

after D.A. Powell


Jotting down my last thought

before this world ends,

by which I mean

before you come in here completely

naked.


My angel, fallen

keep searching for those lost wings

inside me.

I hope

you never find them.


Each time you come

the world ends,

by which I mean

begins.

A sudden bursting.


Mark Ward’s In the Air


I make you come without either of us

touching your dick. And the awe in your face.

We are surrounded by fog. You drove us

up the mountains, beyond where lovers park.

I’d got out to take a piss and couldn’t

see in front of me: not fog, but thick clouds -

a Super Mario level where the world

theoretically exists below us


but only if you fall. A car crept by.

It just missed hitting us. It doesn’t

realise we are here. You have never been

as relaxed as this. Our hard breathing slows,

softens. Shall we go? I nod and you drive

thought the clouds, my face pressed to the windscreen.
