So happy to have three Twin Peaks poems in Waxwing!
This poem, “B O B to Laura Palmer” by @KMenacing from @WaxwingMag 18. “Dragged up just above the surface of an algoid body of water, the slivery blackness consumes the sloped flesh and slicks into placenta. Who eats who and what happens?”

"How many rounds of
how could you do this to me?
can I traverse, in blindfolded travels of
pain, of pain, before I lose my mind?
Not many more. I have to learn to
disdain hope, dispense with its sickness
of seductions: there is no you."

"After his shower, he wrote something on
the bathroom mirror.
Now I know I’m going to have to beg for it.
The sheets of this bed. They have me figured out.
Make sure you open my mouth
and look all the way down before you leave.
You won’t believe what you see"

It has been a bleak Covid summer. We cancelled the summer edition of Menacing Hedge, but all of the writers so graciously allowed their work to be in the Fall Edition, which will go forward. Thank you so much and so sorry. Summer was our ten year anniversary. @MenacingHedge
"I look at the
imprint of that life, the early mornings, or
late nights in motels, eating with a line of
men all of us laughing, none of them asking
why are you out here, little girl, driving in the dark
on the freeway" - from Spring I, by @bloomersea @MenacingHedge

"I want to brag that he does not burn toast in the office toaster. That with him, I don't need glasses. I go to him with my naked eye. In fact, I want to say that the glasses no longer work at all, and that I am seeing death tolls on the television again". @justinecteu
"You present yourself over the threshold (let us imagine) like a dissident and her happiness sounds like a muffled strangulation (we imagine, further). You are like a grenade in her life, thrown from a distance". *Michelle Reale @MenacingHedge
Abby and Lev made it to Catalina Island and joined the Fireflies. Thank goodness. If you don't believe me, just look at the final menu screen image with the boat on the shore and compare the buildings. @LastofUsPartII

I will have gone to school for a couple of years and then dropped out to follow my dream of being a country singer. By doing this I will move to Nashville and meet my future husband and get a record deal". @RachelVanB @MenacingHedge
