      Two Poems by Phillip B. Williams

      Dec 15, 2017

      The masters are yet dead. Wanting to be human,I tried to rewrite The Waste Land. The canon’s reachcasts ruinous light. The masters’ pens breachthis page where, above, my own hand spectates. Babylonrisen, exorcism in reverse, whose nature upended now?

      Diary of Remorse

      Sep 6, 2022

      I was plagued by remorse, but my remorse seemed inspired by insignificant dumb things—things not really worthy of bona fide remorse. That didn’t make it any less painful or plague-worthy, as I was still riddled with disgrace on a minute-by-minute bas

      Jan 1, 2020

      In class, I stared because of the blood going blue.The chalk that coated our fingerly teeth.The way we lapped each other (on the shorewhere the flowering). I gave away our location. Smacked my lips in the coat closet.Sucked at her teeth. We, on all e

      By the time I was 25, there were only two things I remembered about Mumma. The first was that she smelled of watermelons, the second was that we were happy. We’d taken our father’s name of course, but a name is only half a story. The other half exist

      Mar 3, 2021

      Dark Days and Dangerous Nights - Jack Freestone

      Blind

      ––––––––

      We are a ridiculous collection

      Of beautiful and ugly

      We don’t know what we are

      Or where we came from

      We pretend not to know

      Why we use violence

      Why religious people

      Kill those 

      Not in the same clan

      Why a man

      Beats his wife

      Why women

      Have rape fantasies 

      And husbands want new girls

      Just a lot of noise

      And misunderstood thoughts

      As we occasionally

      Bump into walls

      Waiting to be Discovered

      A drunk girl squats

      On my overgrown grave

      Unaware

      Of my life longer despair

      Her lip service

      Gives me hope

      And she even lets

      A ripper fart go

      Into the air

      All power and pride

      As she considers

      The beauty of the moon

      My cold white bones

      Rattle in expectation

      Of a slow golden
