Of jagged teeth, concubine of catastrophe, mark of midnight, and rivers of honey.
Four writers were approaching, and the wind began to howl...except replace wind with bloodletting of words, and ink into veins from these authors blessed and crazed with no other way to let it out, than to put it across a screen, and into our hearts with only pure aim.

Embers
Flakes of creation pranced Infinite bound
Cosmic darkness, clashing gray puffed clouds and
Rustic fields fortuned by dandelion wisps
Wailing against ocean deep canvas clouds
Simulations clamored red eyes of stardust
Novae laughter locked light kevlar hatred,
Platelets scurried to sparred rifts, en garde new
Hell ten year holocaust, sauna mist drowns
Arctic iced whiskey cup; talk and talk 00-4
Burn every nuclear home- just as you did
Before. Aims wished sanctuary ashes
Away, Cowells at bay staring into
Fiery magma fins, sweet tangerine walls
Lashing tepid shed roof, wooden spine squeals
Sundered focal synapse: revolution
Revved as bumbling coupe engine, medals granted
Devil’s tongue spiraling in ears of young agents,
Hard fought! Clouded Cowells picked up Book of Dreams
Ripped page of Love, evolving revolver
Squandered, point, aim, shoo. Entity Aims access
To Oceanside granted. Prepare for War.
00-4 said in a gravelly commanding voice,
Legion gravitas dissipating, next
Awaits. Cowells gait slow and militant.
Neon mist crisp emerald blades, residue like
Faint oasis dreams, crystalline waterfalls
Splash weary leafy seams, above seas collapse;
Foggy fingers clasp to new day's sanguine glove.
Crisp autumn air reveals trails of clotted char
Streaks, livid vinyl crackles popped coffin den,
Devils suited, cloaked, petrified by plasma
Cotton candy haze- Hellfires spin to HQ.
Colt clipped, one round chambered, boulevards
Freshly lit, Coupe consumes tar roads, Gaul Heights
Prowling, sirens scatter pedestrian
Wards, youth inhale rotten flesh stench, plasma
Churns, gurgling cotton candy vents, cherry
Swirls unwind tonight's chapter. Petrified
Breath batters Book of Dreams, fresh yellow pages
Glow elliptical, Eden returns to mind
Drink the witches brew, swirling raspberry
Chamber drools cold exhaust, nights cost sanity
Coupe swerves with turbo thrust, escape the plains;
Pink city bound, cruel bars claw tinted glass,
Aims inhales midnight smog, tar fuses flesh
Late teens talk tactics, plain fashion, laughs
Echo sidewalks, alleys, veins of the city
Report to HQ command- dropoff- engage…
Cowells brushes onyx curls, ladies lurk drunk;
Quick punch paces livened liver, quiver
Unleashes snake chain gun ballistics, strange
Dame lights red and blue skyline- minds eye trails…
Dips, scrolls; Doom is imminent, intimate
Encounters flower Aims tequila shots:
Call me love, late in my premonition;
Navy blue tears confide in war torn lands
I know where you lurk:
Devil's Den
New Disciples.
I claim Heaven as my Hell
Paradise supplied in layers
Digital players spike
Cherry peace.
Flee
Breadcrumbs of Consciousness
Mavia sends in another great narration from the author, Todd Beller, who just happens to be among the pantheon of talent here in the halls of Prose. Grab some coffee, lean back, or put it in drive and listen to the words while Sunday moves around you like water around a stone.

Smile of Bukowski, Black Sky, The Art of Love, and Ruins of Man.
Seven writers come down with fire to make this one of our favorite episodes in the channel's history. Ranging from new blood to legends, these pieces put our 60th episode out into the world with a grip of steel and blue-lava beauty, mixes of orange, and a touch of evil to keep the thread floating upon the wind, seeable, but unreachable to remove.

Hot Chocolate, pork and beans and prose, four ladies, spit upon a page, and lemonade air.
A Challenge created by putski brings home the first glance on today's feature on Prose. Radio, where Hot Chocolate bass-lines the morning into the world created by four talents and their heavy lifting of our minds into - then onto, a plateau of a dimension defined by coping, four seasons in heavenly bodies warming by the fire, a madman's babbling, and into the lemonaide air with a flash.

Pusherman, taps on the steering wheel, mountain justice, and a primitive gnaw.
In case anyone has a case of the Mondays, on the show today, in number 26, Curtis Mayfield sings us into three reads by three vastly different talents with one vast thing in common: Each one is their own creator with a style like no others. Top off your coffee, and sail away with us.

I’m fine
trauma is trapped inside emotion
that sits in the cage of my chest
poison ivy pain wraps around bars
that rattles in the storm
behind the sternum-ed wall
screams that haven’t escaped the prison
lay in iron beds hardened with frost
stopping the seep from chest to tongue
from tongue to lip, lip to air
air to echo to ears that hear
that judge, that shame, that watch
down the diaphragmatic depths
desolation punches the dam
stress coils and entwines with anxiety
its shrieks of mimicry – whispers of lies
the “I’m okay’s” the “I’m fine”
the need to turn yourself inside out
to release and shed the shame
the pain, the blame, the ache of emotional agony
the rage, the guilt, the fullness of everything
of emotion, of memory,
of moments you can feel but can’t quite remember
the trap you can’t free yourself from
being inside your body but feeling outside
being an observer, a nothing
outside, you’d never know
outside, you’d think nothing is wrong with me
inside I feel so full
inside I feel so empty
Pablo Neruda’s heart, god of Rusty James, history soup, Bob Ross paints, spins, and a fireside story.
In number 23, on Prose. Radio, Pablo Neruda sets the tone, and a wave of talent numbering 8 takes the wheel and drives us through some dark alleys, and some sun beaming through the window. RustyJames blends into the six to appear, each shining down in their own untouchable light, with Huckleberry_Hoo taking us into the firescape with something beautiful.

The Cure, alchemy, pages, lead paint, and where death lives.
Straight from the pure, uncut supply in the dope locker of Prose., in lucky number 21, The Cure's Robert Smith ignites some fascination, and strings it out until it becomes a list of powerhouses from the site, each one with their own style, each one strong of eye and brilliant of mind. From MeeJong and Mariah, to three or so new bloods, and one long story of ghosts in war, wrapped with dreams of old.

Debbie Harry’s Heart of Glass, a memory, End Times, murky stars, and back alley dictation.
