House of Childhood by Nataša Benedičič

2025/10/13

House of Childhood Nataša Benedičič I would rest in a secret gardenWatering my unsaid thoughtsFor they had no other placeSince they were “too much”Waiting for life to unfoldLike a flower before meWith unplanned momentsYearning to arrive where I belongLittle knowing that some peopleSearch for their purpose all their livesConstantly feeling they bloom in the wrong placesLoving things that never love them backGrowing pains were a certainty.That I was becoming an adultYet a part of me wanted to hang

Twenty-First. Night. Monday by Anna Akhmatova

One Poem Only ·

2025/10/11

Twenty-First. Night. Monday Anna Akhmatova Twenty-first. Night. Monday.Silhouette of the capitol in darkness.Some good-for-nothing–who knows why–made up the tale that love exists on earth.People believe it, maybe from lazinessor boredom, and live accordingly:they wait eagerly for meetings, fear parting,and when they sing, they sing about love.But the secret reveals itself to some,and on them silence settles down...I found this out by accidentand now it seems I'm sick all the time.Mentioned in this

"If a tree falls" by Amelia Dunn

2025/10/10

"If a tree falls" Amelia Dunn If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to notice does it make a sound?Does its impact even hit the ground? Will the wind still whistle Or will silence echo in the burrows of what once was what once was must be forgotfor leaves will fall again next autumn and shoots will spawn in the spring does sadness fill you as you stare at an empty home or do you dance with excitement at the new creations that bloom within you knock down this wall and we’ll have a dream

Another Day in MayAnthony Robinson Now more coffee and Brian Wilson And skittering creatures. I've eatenTacos for three days straight and DadIs still on oxygen. To feel intense griefNot right now is also to feel guiltyConcerning elements and microbesWhat makes a man sick is alsoWhat kills him, what kills a manIs also what sustains him. Here, loveIs a concept. Mercy is an actOf unshabby imagination. MotherPuts out food for the goldfinches,A famous athlete debases himselfTo the applause of at least

2025/10/08

"Gone are the days" Rusha Chatterjee Gone are the dayswhen my house felt like home,now the rooms filled with thousandmemories feels like a cage,suffocating and cold,laughs from my childhood echoes throughout the space maybe to light a little spark of hopeless hope.The mint colour wallsare now pale and grim, the lack of warmth issurely from within,the rose wood furniture was a beauty to behold, now with layers of dustis an absolute eyesore.The kitchen which always smelled like heaven, now

The world doesn’t begin and end at the kitchen tablemore than likely everything is preceded by a bed.It ends with or without a death gripWith or without the altar and the hummingWith or without divine intervention or a prayer or a poemDon’t correct me if I’ve told this story before.It is not misanthropic ramblingIt is not an excuse to pathologize you it is the unblinking chasm in my

Silver Filigree by Travers Charron

2025/10/03

Silver Filigree Travers Charron Before the day unbuttons its sky,while morning’s breath still clings to the grass, I find it—a single web,threaded between two branches, a silver filigreetrembling in dew.Each strand,so thin I dare not blink, holdsthe soft breath of the waking earth.No grand cathedral could matchthis tender architecture—woven by instinct,lit by grace,enduring the weight of a single drop without breaking.I stop,breath caught, knowing I am the first to come this way.The trail is laced

Taemong Kimberly McAfee After Li-Young Lee*My mother had a dream of me,when she and I were one.She dreamed of a snakecoiled on her belly.It was her taemong, her conception dream, of me.How Adam and Eve were so deceived!A wily snake, the fruit of the tree of knowledge.Introducing suffering on this earth.A snake condemned to writhe about the world on its belly.I was strange when I was young;a half-Korean girl in a place with no other Asians or mixed people.How the other children were so deceived!I was

Clouds Have Always Been Women Nanki Kandhari Clouds have always been women—braided in softness,swollen with storiesthey were never allowed to pour.They gather, quietly,between gossiping winds and forgotten rooftops,holding storms in their bellyso that the harvest may thrive.They do not arrive with announcements—only anklets of thunder,skirts stitched with rain,and a scent like old lullabies soaked in soil.You call them moody.I call them magnificent.They grey with waiting,then split

a walk from my Eve to my Lilitha swim within my own soulOne was made from your rib,the other, from the same soil as you.One sacrificed herself for your love,the other loved herselfUntil there was nothing left to hate.One poured herself into empty vesselsuntil they overflowed.The other filled her cup first,Before she emptied yoursOne accepted the truth she was given,the other bent reality to fit her fire.To one, we owe origin.To the other, feminine rage.One was never enough.The other was always too
