MESS HALL

 

by WC Roberts                 

 

 

 

belly button pushed,

birthday suit ejected him--

what a bloody mess

she laughs at her friend   

flashing metal detector

he’d set it off naked

 

Victor Pineiro

HORRORKU                            

 

gingerbread house

the scent of marrow bones          

simmering in the cauldron
