A holiday from time
It makes me remember
all the times we�ve been together
absolutely alone in some suspended hour
a holiday from Time
prowling about in those quiet places
alienated from past and future
where there is no sound save listening
and vision is an anesthetic�
When I see how handsome you are
my stomach will fall
with many unpleasant emotions
like a cake with too many raisins
and I will want to shut you up in a closet
like a dress too beautiful to wear.

That girl, by Heidi North-Bailey
She rides side-saddle
into her own clich�
her heart is pumping smoke
boots heavy with things unsaid
sunset flecked with mud
she�s breathing fire
flames curl from her lips
slow-dancing lovers
with cigarette smiles
slink and hips
turn on the clock
and still
after all this time
after so many battered
leather jackets
crumpled sleeps
on strangers� couches
cups of tea
from chipped mugs
into her own clich�
her heart is pumping smoke
boots heavy with things unsaid
sunset flecked with mud
she�s breathing fire
flames curl from her lips
slow-dancing lovers
with cigarette smiles
slink and hips
turn on the clock
and still
after all this time
after so many battered
leather jackets
crumpled sleeps
on strangers� couches
cups of tea
from chipped mugs

In Delhi, last winter,
we needed a photograph
for the poster of your talk,
so you suggested -
"Take any from my FB album
in which I am wearing enough clothes
and not making a face,"
which left my choice, from among hundreds,
to about two.
Finally, we chose you in purple,
smiling, and sitting against a wall
in what looks like JNU,
you are wearing a silver hoop in your ear
and after looking at this photograph many times over,
I know why your name meant 'loved,'
I know why this memory is silver, I know
why this memory will now always be silver.
("Kaush, pack your best clothes,
Thanga would have hated if any of us
are badly dressed for the funeral.")
Thanga, I have two winters,
and terrace nights, and songs with you,
I have a midnight dance with you,
and because you thought we 'Indian fuckers'
were 'too dramatic,' I will, for your sake,
keep safe in my hands, all the evenings
that won't let you go.

Editorial Notes
dear all PP Friends,
on 8 august, we recommended 6 poems for possible inclusion in the 2015 Best of the Net Anthology, based on the pageview statistics and our concept of what 'best' represents our magazine. the poems which we will post respectively on our 5000-strong facebook are:
1/ 'I�ve told you the fragility of my love' (PP 4.1) by Koon Woon;
2/ 'Komodo Dragon' (PP 4.1)by Allen Qing Yuan;
3/ 'Pale' (PP 4.1)by Stacey Margaret Jones;
4/ 'Intricate Wrongs, Unvaried Histories' (PP 3.4)by Sam Smith;
5/ 'The Obituary' (PP 3.3)by Gershon Ben-Avraham;
6/ 'Autumn Leaves' (PP 3.2)by JoyAnne O'Donnell.
to follow the guidelines, all these pieces were published online between july 1, 2014 and june 30, 2015. -- good luck to the creators.
in late may we here at Poetry Pacific Press published our first bilingual (chinese and english) edition of Create Abundance, a book about body-spirit-mind growth by Zhang Xinyue; in september, we published another bilingual edition of Wisdom for Abundance, a collection of spiritually reflective or philosophical poetry by the same renowned author. for each book, we printed 30,000 hard-cover copies (in china to reduce the costs), but the author and her corporate institution are responsible for distribution and circulation.
our upcoming spring issue of 2016 (5.1) is slated for release on 20 april rather than on 5 may, two weeks earlier than usual because in late april next year, both editors of PP will have to leave canada for health/medical reasons and stay in china for at least six weeks, where no googling is possible yet.
from this year on, we will nominate 6 poems/poets not only for the Pushcart Prize but also for the Best of Net Anthology on a regular basis, but we will not notify each nominee of our nominations: we have to keep our computer time at the minimal level (mainly for health reasons); more important, we encourage and welcome each contributor to revisit our site at least once after his/her work appears in it.
the isbn number assigned to Poetry Pacific (4.2) is 978-0-9919298-6-3.
the coverart: Gary Cummiskey.
in this issue, we are honoured to feature 4 visual artists and 73 poetry creators.
happy perusing and pursuing!
