One More (By Catherine Matchuk)
I am trapped in the soft prison
of my own flesh.
The wardens have wrapped my heart in wire.
Tied down by the demons
that hunt us.
I don’t mind being another taken,
one more.

Off the water and across the sand,
I sit and wait for you.

Uninvited Guest (By Catherine Matchuk)
Death Splatter By Gabe Reyes
There you were, frail and weak,
if I touched you, you were sure to fall apart.
I knew you were there, and I knew you were alive,
I could hear it from the beating of your heart.
