Apophasis
Do you pray to God when God sleeps?
The Alexander Singers & Players present Shmiddler on the Roof
A Shakespearean rendering of Sholem Aleichem’s classic
The hinge on the garlic press is loose
by Pam Makin
making its plate wobble in its perforated bowl
as I squeeze, pushing pungent plumpness
through forty-seven holes, slivers escape
up the sides, out over the top where they
will not be crushed or pressed into service
for the sake of my need for flavoured carbs.
The pepper
Phin as a Resting Ground
Thoughts simmer as each droplet splashes
Ode to the Mortar
I doubt /
you have a heart, in our understanding of /
that term /
