Thermage

April 1, 2022April 1, 2022 Rebecca Lee

Lying on the thin white cotton pillow of the procedure room / the nurse hands me the stress ball / swaddled in a blue latex glove / a nod to the virus still rampaging through the unvaccinated / The ball is for me to mash in my clenched fist / Read more

HISTORIAN

March 21, 2022March 21, 2022 Nancy White

She can repair things with a little twist of wire. Even sentences. She’s “writing it all up,” she says and none of the imagery’s from nature. Came over to say she’s seen the key will be to insert random blank pages in the chronology, not too early, where the mind Read more

Everyman’s Heart

March 21, 2022March 21, 2022 Alexandra Meehan

Dreamland

March 21, 2022March 21, 2022 Z. M. Wise

It is New Year’s Eve so we dressed up to go out dancing, my best friend Mary and I, and headed out to some bar out in the country we’d never been to before, but we—M&M was how we were known (“we’re not plain, we’re nuts” we’d tell most everyone Read more

For Emily

March 7, 2022March 7, 2022 Victoria Addesso

I give you the gasoline rainbow glistening next to the crumpled beer cans and soggy strips of newspaper. I give you diamond shards of broken bottles and the ruby ribbons of spilled Cabernet decorating the dirty gutter. I give you the tough greens growing between the concrete’s cracks and their Read more

Aging Red

February 21, 2022February 21, 2022 C. Streetlights

These days, they melt like a Dali minutes dripp- ing into the hours but seconds pour, pour, pour- ing into the days. I wear age like I do my lipstick – bright, bold, and red. I am red years old. Age is a number that deceives like a Seurat, dots Read more
