Air

when larva breathes
floating like a chrysalis
to its dear, roulette

let each hybrid and harbinger go
even shipwrecked, to the truth
of its terminus;

its green veranda.

Zero Season

this is the transplant season
pillars falling, pedestals rising
without an anthem

this blood pilgrim / that blood pilgrim
the courier to these differences
too hurt to exit—locks

its tiny circadian vault of wonders.

Peter Schwartz has over 150 poems published, some of them in nationally-distributed journals, some printed overseas. He has stories and paintings published on and offline as well as his own somewhat controversial journal, which can be sampled at: http://www.watchtheeye.com. He's also the associate art editor for Mad Hatters' Review and co-founder of www.sitrahahra.com. He lives almost silently in the forests of Maine.
