issue 5: LIGHTS OUT

rising on the ​nothing new

S.T. BRANT
Balk at the segue of darkness: you’re of it-
             let the closing teeth of day bite you,
             assimilate in the taste of night, in pieces,
             and with the Abyss’s sensibilities commune.

The night has earned a darkness no destiny can meet.
Fate takes a baffled Will-
             eject the fiction of all need;
             match Necessity
             ​sting for sting,
lest you be but an echo of the Time.

S. T. Brant is a teacher from Las Vegas. Pubs in/coming from EcoTheo, Door is a Jar, Santa Clara Review, Rain Taxi, New South, Green Mountains Review, Another Chicago Magazine, Ekstasis, 8 Poems, a few others. You can find him on Twitter @terriblebinth or Instagram @shanelemagne.
