"O to be an old man!
so beautifully defoliated
with pounds of metal in my pockets
troubles gone as dead children.
meds at ten and again at ten.
reading in my dreams,
deaf as a stump. storms come along
to tease memories out of my bones
not a moment spent in the future."

From, "Sick of my 20s," by Jonathan Focht.

"Sometimes I think
we make too much
of form. Maybe intuition
is really unspoken
desire, the student
wordless
recognition of
a pattern
we'd wanted
so recognized"

"You said being a man is about holding things
together--tying ice skates--building
a snow fort with a perimeter moat.
The word can't is not in our vocabulary--
t after can--me after you. I repeat this,
sit at your desk to write before you're gone,
before forgetting--our hands fused
into a single word..."

From Apostrophe by Gordon Taylor, in EVENT 51/2.

"A venue of vultures rest on top of the collaborative installation by artists Lucia Koch and Héctor Zamora at Casa Wabi, Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico. It's a bit metaphorical: Vultures are known to be scavengers and benefit off others' hard work, but are also an indication to others that there is something fruitful in the area. The photo was captured on a Pentax 645N using Kodak Gold 200."

From Douglas Hampton's cover image, "Casa Wabi" on EVENT 51/2.

MARKERS
by Martin Heavesides
in EVENT 51/2

"At the border of consciousness and unconsciousness is an infant with a whistle.
The species of the infant varies person to person and by the time of day (also sometimes weather).

At the border between Youth and Age is a shimmering curtain, near invisible, maybe a decade in span.
Give or take. You feel a shiver passing through
Look in a mirror at a face that resembles yours, only..."
