Let’s Pretend

October 6, 2016October 6, 2018 Julie Anderson

Let’s remember our youth when the sun played magic tricks with the light when we knew bliss when we felt safe when we were innocent Let’s dream about the good days when we had faith when we were strong when we knew love when we had courage Let’s be honest Read more

Corner Life

October 6, 2016October 6, 2018 Valerie Vaughn

A junkie coworker of mine steals cars and drives them to drug clinics to score his methadone fix. He’s always on time because no one wears a watch, at least not around this place where time steals value minutes away from stationary life. Digital idiots we’ve become always looking down, Read more

My Heart Tastes like Chicken

October 5, 2016October 6, 2018 Lela Casey

I gave you my heart, ripped it from my chest where it lay comfortably nestled between lily white rib bones and family dinners in front of the television. You picked it up daintily between your fingers as if it weren’t alive, as if it weren’t throbbing madly, as if it Read more

Husband in the Kitchen

October 4, 2016October 6, 2018 Sharon Svendsen

Does not cook. Tells me I should use a lid on a pot I know will boil over if I do. Is already in trouble for putting clean dishes away where I can’t find them. Says one more “you should” and my shoes, my shirt, my stirring hand catch fire. Read more

Promises in the Dark

October 3, 2016August 13, 2021 John Michael Antonio

As OMD still sings about hopes and dreams and the ephemeral light of summer fades I know my love for you never will Oh baby those nights we disappeared laughing and speeding into the night in my freedom fighting Camaro The vibrancy of the moment telling us that we were Read more

Little Girl

September 30, 2016October 6, 2018 Natasha Alexander

I understand that you couldn’t prevent it from happening I even understand that you couldn’t fix it. What I don’t understand, is why you never noticed I changed, I cried out in so many ways. Did you not notice my innocence was ripped a way? Could you not see I Read more

Me

September 29, 2016October 6, 2018 Stephanie Bennett-Henry

I’ve always been different and I’ll tell you why. I’m not afraid of the truth. I’m not afraid of being honest and raw and downright brutal with how I choose to hammer words out of my mouth. I’m not afraid to show myself without a designer label, without any coat Read more

My Mothers

September 29, 2016September 14, 2018 Icess Fernandez

Look me in the face and call me bruja. Let the label linger on your tongue before you swallow the reality, Before you digest the inherited truth. Go to the sea, my mother Y cobrale mis chingaderas. Recall baptism in clear waters, salted by Earth and divine prayers Slapped awake Read more
