Sonnet From The Twilight Zone
by Ken Fisher
When negative is positively per-
fect, you're in the Twilight Zone of medi-
cine, probing for diseases which are lur-
king, hiding in the sludge of sedi-
ment. We'd ruled out the dread horror terri-
fying us, or thought we had until mis-
takes appeared, to denigrate our merri-
ment, transformed abrubptly into anger, hys-
terically erupting from frustra-
tion. We're new to this apparently per-
vasive, cruel ineptitude, constant may-
hem that demands bewildered scans of mur-
ky shadows, details fuzzy, still obscured
enough to make us need to be assured
that someone, in such turmoil, can be cured.

Important information about submissions: Please read.
Please note that The Stray Branch is currently working on a heavy backlog. Issue #5 will be released this March and issues #6 Fall/Winter 2010, #7 Spring/Summer 2011 and #8 Fall/Winter 2011 are now full so any submissions of poetry or fiction sent now, if accepted will not appear in publication until 2012. I do not want to hold up anyone’s work for that long of a period of time but if this is not a problem for you feel free to submit just keep in mind the length of time between acceptance and publication. Artwork and photography submissions are still needed for #8. All artwork and photography also considered for the cover. Reading times for The Stray Branch are
from October thru April.
