D.I.Y.O.A.
by Harris Coverley
hidden
but
only just
some
errant bones poking
up
from under the plaster
wallpaper
lumped
between
the waves and folds
of
deep vertical stripes
in
off-cream and sienna
a
loose final breath
caught
in a bubble of
wallpaper
paste
trapped
forever
or
until the sunlight forces a
redecoration
and
a revelation
(resurrection?)
Along with previously
in Yellow Mama, Harris Coverley has had over two
hundred poems published in journals and anthologies around the world,
including Star*Line, Dwarf Stars, Spectral
Realms, Scifaikuest, The Crank, Sublimation:
a Magazine of Speculative Poetry, Dreadnought SF, Tigershark, View
From Atlantis, and many others. He lives in Manchester, England.
Cynthia Fawcett has been writing for fun or money since she was able to hold a pen.
A Jersey Girl at heart, she got her journalism degree at Marquette University in Milwaukee
and now writes mostly technical articles about hydraulics and an occasional short story
or poem on any other subject.
