BEGIN IN NERVOUS YELLOWS

Moan, then moan again. It was empty headed
of our songs to overlay us with wet confidences,
grotesquely stretched to fill the room.
You bandage you.
Stop lying to her. She looks bad. She delights
to blow herself up like a glass till she see it break.

Chronic, like a god. And pastel wigged.
How nervous, immature and unable
I am to eat this beautiful donut. Kimberley
warned us about melancholy.
Doomed to murmur. To murmur against itself.
If you don’t like it, grow fingers.
The kind that digs out and then applies
fresh gold to us where it belongs.
To powder-over, over-power and finally to rest.

— Bridget Talone

Lioness, my loneliness, I am exercising my right to be poured out like a liquid.

Anna Gurton-Wachter

Praise

I’ve long appreciated the variety of 6x6, and, through each issue, have been able to discover at least one new poet that has startled me (if not more).

Rob McLennan

This penultimate issue of Ugly Duckling Presse’s long-running magazine is as much a treat in its physical assembly as it is in the poetry contained.
