I Sing the Body Quantum by Jim Geer Not electric, but entangled— this body hums in waveforms memory can’t collapse. I move, and somewhere else my shadow hesitates— a double-exposed soul choosing which life to become. The bones remember gravity, but the breath? It’s light…

The Sound a Soul Makes by Jim Geer First, a gasp— breath forgetting its way home. Then the stuttered engine of a sob catching like bone in the throat’s narrow tunnel. Hh-hh— ahh—ahh— nnngh— hiccups from a cracked bell where no prayer echoes. No words. Just the body drowning…

The Lie in the Clock Face by Jim Geer The clock insists it’s now— sharp tick, face uncracked, clean hands too sure of themselves. But the dog I buried last spring scratched at the door this morning, tail thudding like nothing had happened. Mama called to say supper’s ready,…

The Clock He Wound Backwards by Jim Geer He asked what time supper was, as I dried the bowls we just ate from. The walnut clock he carved when I was five ticks in reverse now— each second a breath unsaid. He called me Brother, then Pastor, then Ma. I answered to all, not…

My Soul Sat Down by Intentionally Bad Poem My soul sat down on a bench made of sighs. The bench broke. Like my hope. And also my left shoe. I wrote your name on a tortilla and ate it, hoping to absorb your love. All I got was heartburn and memories. The leaves fell, like our…

Where the Kudzu Crawls By Jim Geer He fell where the kudzu crawls, beneath a sign that once said Shell, now rust and bullet holes, a relic too tired to lie. I found him curled like he used to nap under Pawpaw’s porch fan, boots off, one arm tucked like it remembered me. The…

I Counted His Breaths by Jim Geer I counted his breaths in the predawn gray; forty-seven, forty-eight, then silence for days. The tracks on his arms spelled out Mama’s name. So I counted his breaths in the predawn gray. He whispered of the creek behind Miller’s old barn,…

I Hummed Old Cotton Fields as He Fell by Jim Geer He slumped beneath neon, bare feet kissed by the rain, a coat on his shoulders still whispered his name. No one slowed down— just shadows and steel. So I knelt in the hush and let silence feel. I hummed “Cotton Fields” as he…

To the One I Already Miss by Jim Geer You smiled like I knew you would, just enough sorrow at the corners, like someone who’s read the end of the book but chooses to turn the pages anyway. I don’t know your name, but something in my chest went still when the wind whispered…

Truth is Just Memory You’ve Stopped Editing by Jim Geer Memory walked beside me, not behind, as you’d expect, but to the left, where shadows curve and old music sometimes lingers. She didn’t speak at first. Just touched the brittle edges of what I’d filed away as finished.…

Thought Experiment #42 by Jim Geer I stepped through the ripple and fell sideways into stillness, a place so quiet even silence seemed surprised. There were no stars here, only intentions— bright as fireflies not yet born. Ideas drifted like pollen from flowers that had never…

Rewinding Charlie by Jim Geer The bullet found him mid-sentence— time blinked, and history forgot how to move forward. The crowd held its breath too long. Hands reached too late. The microphone remembered his voice longer than we could. Mourning rose in Erika’s throat— a…

The Secret Sits in the Middle by Jim Geer We circle. That’s what we do. Planets, priests, philosophers, each in orbit around a thing we’ll never touch. The sun sits silent, burning questions we can’t approach. But we keep our distance with mathematical grace— ellipses of…

The Secret Was Never Hidden by Jim Geer It wasn’t buried. It wasn’t sealed. No riddle, no cipher, no cave behind the waterfall. The secret of secrets was always here— threaded into the weave of things, as plain as breath, as patient as dust gathering in the shape of your…

The Fossil That Forgave Me by Jim Geer I found a stone beneath the roots of an unplanted tree— a flat slab of limestone, veined with darker stone and something older than regret. Pressed into its surface, my name— carved in the clumsy letters my father made when arthritis…
