First Breath
Shot from canal
we land naked
awash in blood
no boundaries
that we might touch
to get our bearings
Cold air slaps us
To breathe, we cry
and so begins
instructionless
experiment
we call a life

Post-squabble
So you look in the mirror and
you say to yourself, who is she?
In the even
moments, amid the strife
Of a sister-fight,
I tell her:
I have to say I only
Have a certain amount of time
And I don't want to waste it
On this, my sister
So here is what you need to know:
Avoid the subterfuge
For it will be your Waterloo
In the end all we, and
You, have is the mighty
Surgical sword of
Feeling and the near-certainty that
We know all that which
We're unable to put into
The words we need to find
To share.
So in this wild night, the moon
Hangs like a gong, you strike
That surface, vibrating in the waves of sound and light
That oscillate out into the
Universe.
We only have our heaven's slot,
A porous, fragile gathering ground
And whether we dwell or visit here,
If there is no knowing, let us find another
Us.

Editorial
Venting Re. In. Vented.
Much
of our excitement stems from the idea of creating a different kind of journal than the ones we are used to seeing
– something alive and kicking. There are several tiers to our endeavor – the
website itself, the actual journal and a Facebook group.
This brings us to the publication itself
– Spiracle Journal. You may be wondering
how we chose our name? It was originally the
brainstorm of Emeniano, as was the
initial concept for the journal. To
use his words “I wanted something clinical and
scientific to “metaphorize” the all too obvious breathing problem
of the creative collective.” Since
a spiracle is a respiratory aperture, the
name fit.... more
It is with such great pleasure that we
introduce to you not Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely
Hearts Club Band but our spanking new publication – Spiracle Journal – as important to us as the
aforementioned album must have been to the Beatles.

On
the website itself, we co-editors
– Wrexie Bardaglio, Emeniano Acain Somoza, Jr. and Barbara
Moore – keep a running journal of our thoughts and observations in the
form of prose
as well as poetry. We invite you all to join us as members and follow our
activities – enriching
our journal entries by adding on to them
in the comment areas provided.
Or, visit the publication mirror site here.
