eureka's pinch by Peter Schwartz Augusta, Me. whether it is found in mad, mad antiques or just standing   stark   as a myth in a tree   whether in the hypnotic heartstrings that play   against the possibilities or   demonstrate like arrowheads;   whether by topography and touch or open philter   or the togetherness of silverfish it must   be found. its fiefdom must reach the sky, flying as   the block- house must ferment. Peter Schwartz is the editor of 'eye' and associate art editor of Mad Hatters' Review. He has 200 poems published in such journals as Porcupine, Asheville Poetry Review, Color Wheel, and Vox. He has 100 paintings published on various literary websites such as Mastodon Dentist and Sein und Werden and work featured on 14 online galleries. He has fiction published with Pindeldyboz.
