1998

August 1, 2022August 1, 2022 James Paraskevas

I.  Breaking: Lanky Boys Throw Hands in Parking Lot Scuffle. Clichéd “fight!” chant chorused by hackneyed prepubescent boys eager for bloodied bread. Adults, bemused by scrawny- armed haymakers, sip nips in curbside seats. Lightweight belt withheld at bell; an even-match of puny sob stories determined. Tune in at ten for Read more

Hiding from a Hailstorm

August 1, 2022August 1, 2022 Eloisa Perez-Lozano

Parking lot lights illuminate sheets of wind and rain as they slam down from sky onto city. I didn’t leave my car in time and now I must wait until the barrage of elements ends. Hail bounces off my roof a thousand icy kernels popping all at once. Though I’m 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. Twin flames were put out by the electric ocean we conducted out of thin air sighs, synchronizing with the galloping stampede…gliding through wind without cares. We wandered, but only once. Read more

Weathered Beliefs

July 25, 2022July 24, 2022 Margret Avery

Letter to My Frozen Embryos

Dissolution

June 27, 2022June 27, 2022 Alexandra Meehan

Having lined up her affairs, Skin smooth in oil, preserved her Ancient perfume resonates— Disperses its silky depths, I dream Of her incinerating baggage; Replacing it with pockets.
