My Phantoms Hang Neatly by A.J. Huffman in
closets that should have held clothes. I do not need them— the clothes. The
phantoms I
worry like beads that will not stay on their knot. My neck is
wrapped around their hands. We
all squeeze too tight, believe we are not co-dependent. I
dress myself for
company in spirit of tangibility. I have been told it frightens
the neighbors, but
I feel comfortable hanging around in cold.
The
Hour of the Cat by A.J. Huffman Feathered
neck and eyes. He
thinks she is a bird. And
she does think
she can fly. From one nest to another. Changing nothing but the color of her claws.
Owlish Eyes in the Dark by A.J. Huffman The cues of
almost- forgotten
prey ignite, a strobe light of fear. Silent flight finds
spotlight. [Pause] Dramatic dark
descends quicker
than breath can
be caught. Teeth
open. [Hold
your applause] It isn’t over until the blood
has become a
permanent stain.
A.J. Huffman
has published thirteen full-length poetry collections, thirteen solo poetry chapbooks and
one joint poetry chapbook through various small presses. Her most recent releases, The
Pyre On Which Tomorrow Burns (Scars Publications), Degeneration
(Pink Girl Ink), A Bizarre Burning of Bees (Transcendent Zero Press),
and Familiar Illusions (Flutter Press) are now available from their
respective publishers. She is a five-time Pushcart Prize nominee, a two-time Best of Net
nominee, and has published over 2600 poems in various national and international journals,
including Labletter, The James Dickey Review, The Bookends Review, Bone Orchard,
Corvus Review, EgoPHobia, and Kritya.
