MIPOESIAS VOLUME 24, ISSUE 1 ~ JANUARY 2011 Sheila Murphy (UN)YIELDING


He decides to be my friend and takes me by the arm onto his continent, where I, a wholly-owned subsidiary, remain lost for the duration.


When is Moses scheduled to return, with an IPAD full of policies?


Our friendship is epoxied so onlookers have no role. The only inference to be drawn is yarded into an end zone.


I dramatize my solitude. He speaks volumes and with constancy. I listen to my own mistakes turn colors for which there is no paint.


He fracts into a diatribal innocence to ensure that I unlearn my name as well as I have taken on his own.


Sheila E. Murphy's most recent poetry book is Toccatas in the Key of D, released in August 2010 by Blue Lion Books. She lives in Phoenix.
