Sky Graffiti
by Nicholas Bonarski
Painted like a mural
or some decorated church ceiling
staring up to fathom every
perfect changing detail
a moving quilt of patterns
white and wispy
spelling words I’ve never read
and making shapes I’ve never known
a unique brand of graffiti
known only to the ground
painted upon the heavens
and there’s no earthbound
being capable of spraying
that image on the blue
canvas bubble
encompassing this globe.
hey hey!
we’re closing submissions on our upcoming issue TONIGHT! Get your stuff in if you haven’t already!
guess what?
we’re almost at 300 Facebook likes!
help us out! The more people know, the more we can help lovely artists like you xx
we don't like asking for favors...
…but we need you to help us - and we promise we’ll return the favor big time.
at Vitality, we are incredibly passionate about giving media exposure to independent, underground, and aspiring artists, musicians, designers, and writers because…well, no other magazine tells us about the real creative people out there. The people like you.
we want to put your name out there. But we need you to spread the word about us (like our Facebook, follow our Twitter, reblog, talk to your friends!). The more followers we have, the more funds we can get from advertisers and sponsors, because let’s face it - printing a magazine - on recycled paper, nonetheless - ain’t cheap. And keep in mind that 10% of our yearly revenue goes to nonprofit organizations that support the arts!
so if you could do this little favor for us just this once, friends, know that we will do absolutely everything in our power to get your art out there.

untitled
Dusk
Runs up through my knees
And out from my lips
Rumbling still,
Buzzing crickets
In my head
A fountain blue sprays from an
Open heart,
Sending ripples outward
Toes sing
To the grass,
Cows mediate upon the moon
