Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket – Annette Kalandros

Today a woman went mad in the supermarket. All too much for her, you might say. No one with a mask, then the jeers and the insults. It proved too much for her sensible logic. They say it was due to this pandemic. But she railed against the idiotic Who kept us on this carousel, … Continue reading Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket – Annette Kalandros

The Sacrifice – Annette Kalandros

As I begin my morning hike, I see the rite of sacrifice has been paid. On the sidewalk before the trail, The butterfly lay dead.   The design of a new year begins, Wishes dance upon my lips-- Like fools before the Queen of Winter-- And freeze before ever spoken.   I shall sign my … Continue reading The Sacrifice – Annette Kalandros

All That She Carried – Annette Kalandros

She carried the weight of being told Young girls didn’t ride the school bus into Charleston. The wages of sin rode in the school bus When left unsupervised that long with boys And their untamed hands pushed and held Girls under the Devil’s sway.

Stolen Words – Annette Kalandros

The tinge of sadness in your words  Told me you had stolen these words From another to whom you had  Given them then turned and gifted them To me, and I—I pretended you had Freshly written such lovely words for me,  Letting the ink of your stolen words  Blanket me, comfort me with something  I needed … Continue reading Stolen Words – Annette Kalandros

Autumnblings – Annette Kalandros

I have heard praises of all this autumnbling Yes, it is a feast of color, true. Yet, it seems this forest floor Littered with the wings Of carrion crows Feasting upon the death Of summer and spring, Of all things gold and green. I have always detested autumn And everything it brings. Longer nights, cold … Continue reading Autumnblings – Annette Kalandros
