walking the streets—

My thoughts are transient but the feeling…it is perpetual. When I say perpetual, I mean like the screams outside my door.

Poetry by Khalisa Rae
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

measured in teaspoons
of amber clover bouquets

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

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

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

a fig and lemon tree nursed past the delicate

Doorways open
in the gradient hour
when light’s long fingers bend
and the encantos slip
from one realm to another
dancing in the shadows

the first time she falls, you are there to catch her
the second time, plants and tender keepsakes break

Poetry by Seán Griffin
consider the marigold
whose ripple petals & slight sweet scent
repels pests seeking to feast
on the cucumbers, melons, asters
sharing soil.

In the reflection, silence wears my face, slinks
behind my eyes, purrs as (I) ripple.

The healing plant,
not just a folktale
but one that sutures
torn skin.

The blade of the flame
flickers reflection on the edge
of the lighter, eternal
incendiary tool.

Oh, winged instrument,
how you’ve always captured
my heart into each string.
