KN Magazine: Poetry
Wounded, The Morning
In Wounded, The Morning, poet Clark Hays captures the fragile beauty and quiet brutality of dawn in an urban landscape. Through imagery of shattered glass and blooming flowers, Hays contrasts destruction and renewal, revealing how even a city shaped like a broken heart can glow with light, resilience, and rebirth.
MORE THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR
In More Than You Bargained For, John Grey transforms the classic haunted house into a chilling sonnet of gothic humor and macabre beauty. Ghosts, nuns, barons, and murdered minions all inhabit this centuries-old mansion, where the true price of ownership is far more than anyone could have imagined. A sharp, rhythmic reminder that in real estate—and in life—location isn’t everything.
TRAUMA: SEE MEDICAL FOOTNOTE
A ruptured relationship leaves behind more than emotional bruises in TRAUMA: SEE MEDICAL FOOTNOTE. Cary B. Ziter’s visceral poem fuses medical metaphor and emotional wreckage in a raw, surreal meditation on heartbreak, memory, and the lingering heat of a love turned catastrophic.
