I cannot sleep, I will not wake. Through the walls I hear the beating. Like hitting something empty, like hitting something stiff: like beating the scarecrow by the lake. And then the water comes. It bunches the glass and stops my bleeding, like the tree now gone who blocked the water. Then I will be reading the book you gave me for my birthday, when the tree was a little thing like me. Still I am a little thing you say. Little to bend, a thing to bleed. Like the body I hear through these walls, not crying, not screaming, but beating.
II. Like beating the scarecrow by the lake…by G. Mramor

I think how it works is that we have friends on facebook and wordpress and everytime we publish something it gets sent out to all those people and there’s a way for other people to see it through tags, which basically clue people into what the poems about and if they like it they’ll like our page and get notifications everytime we publish something. So, I think that by having new posts weekly and different writers you can get others to follow.
