NEW! Poem by Virginia Konchan

Virginia Konchan

from VOX POPULI


X is for Xanax, xenophobes, 
and x-rays that purport
to shine a cathode light
on the pathologies
of your spine. X:
positus, topoi, key— 
secret location of the eye- 
witness to the century’s 
most gruesome crime. 
Let those for whom 
gender and speech
are propositional acts 
sing of the headless, 
stateless, nameless, 
exiled in St. Tropez
until discovered by 
satellite topography: 
phosphorescent
eyeball of fame,
tungsten blue on
the screen of our
illicit, private-cum- 
public desires.
