From 6×6 #20:

your stubby slavic fingers be not far
from my mouth when i’m saying something
that will make everyone in the room
close their eyes & shake their heads
& one girl kiss me on the cheek & grab
my hand & take me to her room & say
what big beautiful gloves you bought
your fingers are so slavic there are
tiny hairs on the knuckles i want to
part them down the middle & draw tiny
sunglasses on each one & introduce them
to my zipper they will mess up their
hair & grow tiny wings & they will
carry me from this world to burger king

—M. A. Vizsolyi (from The Love Sonnets)

The scenery grew lush, serpentine / I acquired a veil of dust motes

Emily Anicich

Poems by Emily Anicich, Billy Cancel, Michael Nicoloff, Frances Richard, Elizabeth Robinson, and M. A. Vizsolyirn

Praise

[6x6] is a really distinctive-looking journal for only $5; it’s DIY, without asking to be congratulated for it. (It wants, rather, to be congratulated for looking good.)
