Those bastards thought they were too good to pay him, did they, he thought bitterly, as he had missed the warmth his wife supplied, and this was further evident to hime when he saw the absence of the fresh buuttered toast, complete with morning paper open to the crosswords section that normally greeted him. He was on his own today. The water faucet squeaked as the handle was cranked to 'on,' and hot water rushed onto the bony long fingers that were Cricket's.

Make that which is separate
equal? Bring any and every thing
once held apart
together? Let me explain
to you
how love makes gods and Man
not matter, explain how love can
reconfigure matters
that mattered so much
within space and time
till neither time nor space
no longer matters.

Rachel Tallmadge, a senior English Education major, served as the Fall 2005 Editor of Nebo

In my room I sit in fear, as thoughts come creeping near,
Darkness shrouds me and the heavy thoughts I bore.
The claws of questions twist around and I search root and ground,
Whilst I sit here on my mound thinking of my forgotten lore,
Of lost hope and family and nothing more.

from Rachel Tallmadge's "Family Tree" published in the Fall 2005 edition of Nebo.

"The air bit through my clothes with all the bitterness of January as I stood next to the rusted barbed wire fence made up of rotten wood fence posts stapled together with ancient wire. The field was hilly and covered with coarse dead grass, a beaten path of mud running all the way to the corral. Dead trees stood like defiant fists next to a black pond that looked as if a dinosaur could crawl in an nap for the next million years or so."

"Rose buried her face into the nearest sink. The automatic sensor detected her hair, and the faucet immediately gushed water. She jerked her head back up, startled. Even the bathroom held no solace."

"The tarmac was hot under my feet. I was standing there staring at the sky, watching the tiny Piper Tomahawk sink toward the ground. There was a skid as the landing gear hit the asphalt of the runway; then the engine flared up again, like a growl, and the plane bucked back into the sky."

published in the Spring 2002 edition of Nebo.
