Poetry

Rooftops – Heather Minette

Posted on December 31, 2012 by bluehourmagazine • 63 Comments

I looked for her on the rooftops of Brooklyn, the makeshift balconies of Manhattan, and the subway in between. On the mountaintops of Spain, the dirty pubs of Dublin, and every European train. On southern country roads, and the foothills of Tennessee, and a lake house preserving childhood dreams. In the classrooms of philosophers and … Continue reading »

Pale Horse – Robert McManes

Posted on December 31, 2012 by bluehourmagazine • 1 Comment

I don’t recall exactly when I first realized Death doesn’t ride a pale horse, but I’m pretty positive this revelation came after the new millennium. Horses just aren’t “in” anymore, not in the twenty-first century. Something so infinite grand needs a modern ride. One with flash and pizzazz. Last night I had a dream; Death … Continue reading »

The Princess and the Pea – Ben Nardolilli

Posted on December 30, 2012 by Moriah LaChapell • 1 Comment

You have your moments of dress up, When the sun clears the fields You walk amongst the gardens In veils and velvet skirts Waiting for sounds of rusted armor. And when the clouds come You put on goggles and bodices To pretend you are on lookout For zeppelins drifting by With evil Prussian designs in … Continue reading »

Where the Moon Stood Too Close to the Edge – Cher Bibler

Posted on December 29, 2012 by Moriah LaChapell • 5 Comments

Look at the place where the moon used to be; there’s a hole burned in the sky, the slick fabric opaque and colorless there, the dusty clouds hurrying to cover the spot. The sun tries to rise through a crack in the shell; rose and magenta come spilling past us. Worn fingers rush to mend … Continue reading »

Stills of a Mental Illness – Valentina Cano

Posted on December 28, 2012 by bluehourmagazine • 1 Comment

A bell rings in his head, a clanging of pipes that are slowly filling with water, muting as he listens. He checks his vitals, heartbeats, air flow, everything in ordered rows. But there is a fault. One he will discover only later, when the aching starts. Something has come in with the water, a doorbell … Continue reading »

Viognier

Posted on December 28, 2012 by bluehourmagazine • Leave a comment

  Moriah LaChapell  Viognier is a distinct, aromatic wine variety. It is a low acid grape with high sugar content. Due to the higher sugar content of the grape, it produces higher alcohol wine with floral and stone fruit aromas. Perfume, peaches and apricots are aromas that are often associated with a good Viognier. It … Continue reading »

House On Fire – Sheree La Puma-Watson

Posted on December 28, 2012 by bluehourmagazine • 5 Comments

Why must I live in a house on fire, powerful, intense, detonating my life from the inside. Stinging, charring, tracking every step like a dog through the woods. Fervid with desire, yet insubstantial, bred with frivolity in mind. Windows, windows popping, windows cracking, windows within windows, and you all try to peek, you all want … Continue reading »

You are – Allison Grayhurst

Posted on December 27, 2012 by bluehourmagazine • 6 Comments

You are simple like death is simple, like death is unmistakable, containing the most feverish and trying of mysteries within its boundless domain. You are beautiful like a cat is beautiful silently sitting, galactic in its sensual form, giving with its gaze substance to voice and blood. You are fire-driven like stars and like sex, … Continue reading »
