Soggy Sunday morning
No TV to bark in the corner
The neighbors have gone to church
But for a siren
________________tens of
blocks away _______All is still
The rain drips from rusting fire escapes
onto the concrete courtyard
Someone shifts a clay flower pot
________________in its
terra cotta saucer— It couldn’t be
____anything else________ &
in the distance, you can almost hear
wakes ____spread across the
___top___ sheet
of the East River____Or
is that
____the city’s breath again?

Seeds In The Vacuum
- Inbar Frishman
- Haifa, Israel
- Inbar Frishman, is an Israeli/ American, confessional poet and spoken word artist. Informed by the likes of Anne Sexton, Sylvia Plath, Etgar Keret, Gary Snyder, T'ao Ch'ien and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Ms. Frishman's poems "...refuse to hang the reader up with ego driven, adjective weighted lines, and instead, draw them into intimate moments of transformation, where words themselves become secondary, and one is left haunted by the feeling that the experience on the page had been ones' own all along". Her past writings have appeared in multiple editions of Metromorphosis and Public Illumination Magazine, as well as on velvetparkmedia.com. Inbar's first book of poetry, "Things Missed in Exile", is available either through Nirala Publishing, or from the author at readings or by request. A limited number of signed copies are currently available through St. Mark's Books, in New York.
