    Honor Box by Janet M. Greenstreet

    May 15, 2022 /

    Worn and tattered, the Western Union telegram holds her heart within its folds. Shall I make wedding plans for Thursday or Saturday? She will wait for him to send word. Once received, she will secure a witness and the priest, bake a yellow cake with buttercream frosting and buy some…

    Maggie’s Drawers* by Janet M. Greenstreet

    May 15, 2022 /

    Beyond smoking scrub, a red flag rises on a rifle. I hear O’Malley curse the almighty as we all deflate: exhausted, hungry, lice-infested, frozen. Stillness shrouds our brooding group. More hours on this mountain means no one eats through zero-dark-hundred. I try to imagine what a hot shower feels like. I…

    American flag, half mass withthin canary lights penetrating through its creases, waving, while he solemnly walked downthe paved road, with his head half-lowered, veiled by the flag’s shadow.  Green eyes dimmed, like a melancholy flame on a lighter, cast shattered remints of his sanity. Flashing thoughts, like the English Channel’s restless waves pounding against the sands, remembering dense air,…

    In a graveyard for soldiers under a frowning moon, birds eschew the crumbs of dry bones of dead warriors, dogs curve around the boundaries as they sense the odor of death, and mothers and wives, oblivious of these things place flowers on tombstones to celebrate life: A blind silhouette of…

    May 15, 2022 /

    The pale, lonely man exists in a patchwork put together-life, his parts held together with Elmer’s glue, and bailing wire. His soul… dark brown like Bourbon and Coca Cola; he is a conglomeration of misplaced desires, fantasies, and sounds of gaudy birds screeching stridently inside his tortured mind.
