A chiselled jaw rattles my pace
As a golden cross dangles just below
That luscious organ
Where crisp ash blackens

And long drives down bleak highways
Restless and dusted
Seemed to distort our reality

A crack in the ledge
Twenty seven circled cage

licking leftover raw egg goop off of a silicone spoon

Fake a smile when your eyes meet,
when they spot you grabbing baked beans
or browsing the KPOP section on Spotify.

I still think of home when I think of you
Though the walls have fared better days
And the light crashes every now and again

The wind was blowing breathless and every star was listening

I fix my mind on the midnight stars and swoon,
For the vastness swipes the breath from me,
I see the holy land smeared ’fore my eyes

for yourself? Can you
tell me all the people who would?
The people who have?

because these are such good deals
and I've reignited an affair from years ago

Poetry by Shreyaa Tandel
when the sun goes down
we step
Together in glass slippers
Far afar by miles, near with fright
Of being predated, chased, killed

of my graphing paper, at rest
before it swoops, curves, and loops,
where am I?
