Poetry || SubmissionsA Thin Boy Who Takes To ScuddingBy Daniel Gallik In a narcotic yodel she says come with me to the hills, the melancholy shocks of home. He goes, never liked emotive tales. Always, just wanted to kiss you tenderly, never make love to you and your deepening, chest-thrown tales. Gothic fairy tales never en- tered his thin mind. A ballad never threw him. Applachia had hills. Those were enough of work for him. She spoke, I am as superb as uncommercial love. He throws her as he leaves, just wanted you to like me. Lurking in her over- filled scrapbook were prints of flat landscapes her dad took one time he was in Mani- toba. When he was over, lover had always gone to them. She said, I have been released, never have been loved, all of me. So, I will cry, sit and wait for another to come to these hills, find all of me. A Burlesque Of Repeat PerformancesLin had this divorce album, pictures from when her and Jim hired lawyers, and she showed it to everyone. No one liked this move, and said, you sure ya wanna let me see that? Lin was proud she handled all-this-life- in-America-stuff well. Jim would come over after work to see her, to basically see if she was okay. He would say, yo lin, all things doin fine here in our apt. near Hough? Lin was studded in an age of great symbolic imports. She handled her wrinkles as she did the morning news. With not much worry. She said, I got tight connection to my heart, and when I find love it will come to me. She didn't know that love was al- ready at her abode, still there. Before The Millennium Hit In Northern OhioI owe nothing to the prefab says Jonni as he heads over to the really nameless bar on 9th. Lin keeps up with him and says I'm no garage charm like you think I am. To which J man goes I wish you to be an alternate take, but don't fight it. You're my one true love. At that one moment he is also thinking about the costs of the new house he is building for a middle-classer who manages the KMart closing in Hough. All in all the traffic is a mess and that is what is real important in this old world. A multi-layered opus plays on the chipped streets in the steel town. Jonni goes I really am an usher with a lavish palate and I like love. A hell of a lot. L woman cranks, I am scared of Columbus and its college kids smoking hash. J, I wanna keep here, so I can black talk in old Cleveburg. And become a hero then too. Daniel Gallik, of Cleveland, Ohio, is very active in the mid-West poetry scene and can be reached at sixgalliks@alltel.net This is his first apparance in Ariga.
