Grandma Josephine

October 20, 2016October 6, 2018 Joan Mazza

My godmother tells me stories of my mother’s mother, her aunt, called Pepina. In her forties, she climbed into a dumpster in the Bronx to scrounge for food, discovered a case of celery, but not before the dumpster was hooked up to be carted off, stopped by her screams. Grandma’s Read more

Camera Cracks

October 18, 2016October 6, 2018 Rebecca Charlotte

She wants to turn on the camera. Needs to turn on the camera. Must not turn on the camera. But feels compelled to hide behind her mask of peacock feathers and rage. And dance, dance for nameless, blameless faces, who fill her up with money. The closest thing to love Read more

Dibs

October 18, 2016October 6, 2018 Paakhi Bhatnagar

I stand there, crazy. No space ships waiting or begging me to clean up dust. Stars away stare into me like fire, encroaching. Single files blocking any desire left in me. Carefree and free was bound to be a slave. A worker in a field had a plate-gruel and a Read more

Pink Dreams

October 16, 2016October 6, 2018 Giulia Catani

Golden mist in silver light. Known certainties fall, to make room for unknown thoughts, that shake my skin. His heaven eyes intoxicate my mind, as frantic waves. The wind blows bully in my heart, raising sand clouds that obscure the view of everything. I walk unfamiliar streets. I do not Read more

Telling the Maverick Good-bye

October 15, 2016October 6, 2018 Sharon Svendsen

I rattled in dull blue uncertainty until low-tread Maverick tires threatened to blow and the rims were almost ready to fall off. I fed water to the radiator on every trip. Finally got the thing re-cored. The timing belt broke on the way to Salem, Oregon. Aligning the wheels would Read more

Hero

October 14, 2016October 6, 2018 Natasha Alexander

The walls never scared you, you knew breaking them down was never an option. You didn’t come with armour or fancy words Instead you came bare, only you, and you climbed my wall brick by brick. You moved so slowly, I never even saw you coming Once you were in, Read more

I Promise

October 12, 2016September 13, 2018 Icess Fernandez

How do I tell you that you are beautiful? How do I tell you that it’s not your fault? That when I left your house I was plenty strong enough. That you are a good mother, that the world hasn’t been as cruel to me as you think. How do Read more
