NOIR MORNING

written by: G.R. MELVIN

Change & keys upon a bureau corner
Can’t be far from the boots and his trousers
Low volume all night tv tells murder stories
Some are unsolved like this week I’ve been havin’
I could get my car back if the garage is open
My fuckin’ phone got lost in downtown without pity
I’ll maybe get another once I am way down the road
Some contacts, all the music won’t be easily replaced
I can chalk it up to “Oh Well”. Sunday’s almost come

G.R. Melvin

Longtime poet, when I try & dare some. Retired from my money-making job (& don't really know how to do it). In the material world I live in Southwest Florida. It's a cultural wasteland but my Mom & sister are here to look after. I probably drink too much & overthink too much but I'll get through it.

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
