Continue reading →: Love Is Impossible to Ignore- by Heather MirassouLove is a dim motel sign flickering vacancy/no vacancy, never quite telling the truth.

Continue reading →: Stitched in Human Ways by Heather MirassouYour smile was an appliqué pressed onto the morning, a bright patch hiding the frayed places. My thoughts ran in crooked backstitch, looping around themselves, unable to move cleanly forward. We walked the bias of truth, tilted, slanted, never quite straight, held together only by fragile binding of good intentions.…

The night exhales along the breathing shore,tide loosening its silvered seams.Salt rocks remember older namesthan those we give to longing.This sea that bares her bosom to the moonholds nothing back.Light drifts across her skinin slow devotion,a hush taught only by distance.Stars hover, while clouds learn restraint.I stand emptied by the…

Continue reading →: For Cat Anthology – by Heather MirassouI stretch my legs like rubber bands,then flop sideways without a plan.My whiskers twitch at empty air,my tail flicks twice, then swats a chair.I pounce on shadows no one sees,my paws land soft, but sometimes sneeze.Ears rotate like satellite dishes,nose sniffs crumbs, then hasty wishes.I knead the couch, then bite…
