Three Short Poems by Ali Znaidi

The Shape of Inexistence

When the night comes
existence takes the shape
of inexistence for those
who have no home
but the streets’ laps,
for those who queue,
           as usual,
waiting for new sorrows,
        & above all,
for those whose morning
is not yet to come.

feathers of a crow
shine through
the empty shot glass.
—A (jailed) triptych.

Platonic Forms

I loved the shadows
of candles in the dark,
& I suppose
this love still persists
but in platonic forms.

  4. The 2019 Belmont Stakes odds behind favorite Tacitus, who is 9-5. With so little separating the top two choices on Saturday, and plenty of other intriguing value selections on the board, you need to see the predictions from horse racing handicapper Hank Goldberg before making any 2019 Belmont Stakes picks of your own.
