Poetry by Karo Ska
one night at bath time,
my mother tries scrubbing
the brown out of me, grating
a ridged sponge over & over
my skin, until
i'm crying

Poetry by S. T. Brant
The bells chime,
The lyre, harp, and trumpet;
The notes are the rays
Of the moon

Poetry by John Grey
Long before evening,
he imagines himself at your door,
exchanging greetings with
a brass knocker,
the number 32.

Love expanded like a thought in my head
circling like a snake made of smoke
whispering of an endless hunger.

five a.m. fog breaks
for seafoam skies. I teardrop

Thin air between us, our fogged breaths mingle, and you wait
for my words to form from where they’re forged.

walking the streets—
her heart

All around me women are brick
laying. Hand filthy from mortar,
fingernails red from the clay
they packed together to mold
their fortress.

He minds the screaming
kettle, silentious and steady,
measured in teaspoons

My frail mother
cries into a fishbowl
then, drinks it down in a gulp.

Poetry by Akanksha Patra
where I come from—
women wear blood-thick awlta on their feet,
it fills up the cracks on their soles like Kaveri’s tributaries.

Poetry by Nick Newman
When I first write this story, my pencil
snaps halfway through the first sentence
I pick up another but a hand crumples me.
