«Forever Yours» by Bianca Alina
«Forever Yours» by Bianca Alina I’m watching the letters burn, their words destined to become mere ashes. The fire’s hunger is insatiable, much like the desire you’ve ignited within me. My love for you—this untamed flower has unfurled its petals, and my heart struggles to hold it all in. It…

Freddie Freeloader by Ken Gierke
Freddie Freeloader / Miles Davis Slow and lazy, Miles’ horn opens the tune, subtle bass, piano, and percussion nudging it along as I climb into the truck, passenger side, a rare occasion. Anesthesia doing its best to hang on, though wearing off as we drive away from the surgery center,…

«I Wonder» by Khaley Dela Rama

Though far away, we sought to see,To know them…

In truth, when she had purchased her “retirement apartment,” she hadn’t considered that the public sidewalk beneath her…

«Evolution» by Sam Barbee
Eons ago, the alligator ruled like an immortal. Slow-aging Amphibian, which explains survivalfrom a Yucatan asteroid’s next-day dust cloud.Arose to devour those weakened or dead.Thick tail to counter-balance attacks.Stubby brute reigns in swamps, dines in bogs.Claws to scale banks, webbed to swim bayous. Armored hide hardening through millennia.Indomitable except post-cranial…

«Satur-Dazed» a Piece of Prose by Ken Tomaro
Saturday morning meant Saturday morning cartoons. In the still dark, I make my way on tip-toes, almost hovering through the hallway, feeling along the wall, to the living room. I turn on the television, turn the volume to almost silent so I don’t wake her. The room is glowing white…

A Narrative Poem by C J Anderson-Wu
OUR BURIALS OUT AT SEA Rumor has it that we perished while attempting to flee this colony of injustice and oppression, a place intertwined with our personal history and memories. Unfortunately, a hurricane struck just after we set sail, casting us into the jaws of ravenous waves. Our bodies were…

Bleeding Howls by Scarlet Rose
Bleeding Howls by Scarlet Rose Watchful winding woods, Tranquil breeze catches a scent Sorrow’s sour moods. Falling foliage stills; Crickets’ choral showdowns cease; Salty droplet spills; Selene’s serene smiles Crash with misty amber eyes; Why’s bridge million miles. Long sorrowful howls, Echoes of a shattered heart, Pain pierces the breeze.…
