3/12/2017 Four poems by Mark YoungA line from René Magritte It's a bleak view of hu- manity. Facing eco- logical collapse, Freddo, plus a whole host of Cadbury characters, went beyond science to shine a spotlight on transgender issues, using their jittery art-punk guitar buzz to offer a frayed life-line to the most vulnerable people. The snowoman wonders what the world offers them outside of that. An ability to handle subzero temper- atures? They have that already. Imprism’d Given the chance to find what colors lie inside white light the kaleidoscope decides on blue. People get up to dance, the cellist cannot hear the morning for the motorcycles. No- thing coheres. It is summer in Iceland. anthracite idolatry Copernicus' work is nearing its definitive form. It's a sprawling, steampunk affair, influenced by rumor, disc- redited science, even by a gaggle of corporate CEOs pretending to be cult leaders in their fluoro training jackets. a brief note on bestiality In the last blooming of this lack- luster night animals take on the shape of wo/men & go looking for an angel to fuck. There are congressional variations, but all three species take pleasure from the act, still taste it in the morning. --------------------------------- Image- karin & the camera Bio: Mark Young lives in a small town in North Queensland in Australia, & has been publishing poetry for almost sixty years.
