Las Manos

April 22, 2024April 22, 2024 Gretchen Corsillo

My hand aches forging a kinship with my heart and my head, side effects of sleepless nights and too many poems. My words render no verdict, reduced to scrawled symbols inadequate of expressing the affliction of my affection for you. The rhetoric betrays me— fractured, a breakdown. So I crumble Read more

Heart’s Paradox

November 6, 2023November 6, 2023 Paula R. Hilton

When you weren’t looking, I slipped a piece of my heart, its left ventricle, into your suitcase. This chamber pumps blood throughout the entire body. Mine, yours, ours. Waiting for a transplant, Stan Larkin lived 555 days with no heart at all. Carried artificial organ’s power source inside a gray Read more

A mistress at thirteen. Shocking for you – now. Not so for me – then. Juliet was only thirteen when she met, fell in love, and all too hastily, married Romeo. Perhaps that’s where life and art merge? The cloudy yet wholesome translucency of writing from experience. It isn’t a Read more

Drowning

September 6, 2022September 6, 2022 Hannah Bagley

Pull me in and take me under. Throw me overboard—hold me under the waves. How I wish I could drown in the expanse of you.   Take the air from my lungs and give me yours. Let me paint you with care, turn your skin smooth as river rock— polished Read more

The Perfect Reverie

July 25, 2022August 29, 2022 Z. M. Wise

We wandered once in this Zen garden, absorbing every color of sound we could hear with synesthesia as our guide.

Absent neighbors

August 21, 2021August 21, 2021 Kashiana Singh

Last night, I became a taboo woman, tantric veins breaking into unencumbered branches of witched trees that fell, nearly fell. They hung in limp moaning slumber, fulfilled after the thunder had hit them like an orgasm last night. The bird feeder, still quivered beneath, on a rusted hook. Inside its Read more
