GAS Featured Poet: Jason Ryberg


 Jason Ryberg lives part-time in Kansas City, MO
with a rooster named Little Red and a Billy-goat named

Giuseppe, and part-time somewhere in the Ozarks,

near the Gasconade River, where there are also many

strange and wonderful woodland critters.

 Event Horizon 

 

I’ve heard there is an

event horizon waiting,

quietly, at the

     hollowed-out hearts of typhoons,

     tornados and hurricanes.

 


 

 White Noise 

 

A city full of

transient winds, and a head

     full of birds (with a

     mainline hotshot of all the

     white noise of the universe).

 



 A Few Good Laughs and 

     a Comfortable Grave 

 

In the end, don’t we

all just want a little bit

of dignity and

respect, a few good laughs

     and a comfortable grave?

 

 


 

 Night Mail 

  

He’d told us he’d been

out delivering the late

     night mail of dreams (like

     paper lanterns set adrift

     on the dark river of sleep).
