January Born by JC

2026/01/02

January Born JC I was winter’s child,wrapped in borrowed wool,breath small as frost on windowpanes. The world outside was brittle then,trees bare-boned againsta sky that never learned warmth,roads lined with grit and quiet. Inside, there was laughter,steam from mugs that foggedthe kitchen glass,a lullaby of radiators clankingas if they toowere proud to keep me alive. January taught me patience—that buds sleep long before they bloom,that light returns in rationed teaspoons,that beginnings aren’t

Of Love and Hell Kajal Of how the hell fell in loveand went straight to heaven, I know the story of a dovewho used to weep for a raven.Nights when Earth criedfor tearing Sun and Moon apart,When horizons used to pain world,there was no war in the name of art.Take me back to the timewhen agony was not a trend, time of ancients,where lies beginnings end.More from Kajal ↓@mermaidspen_ on Instagram@mermaidspen on SubstackMentioned in this episode:Join the mailing list to be the first to know when OPO

From a Home, to a HouseGunneet Kaur BhamraFrom the place, where comfort was found,And people meant happiness and laughter.From the lazy and cozy mornings,And chattering and cheery evenings.From those late-night family games and gossips,Because “tomorrow's a holiday... what a bliss!”To the place where comfort is only sought,Where people mean suffocation.To busy and chilly dawns,And gloomy and exhausting dusks.To these late-night family dramas and decisions,Because “tomorrow's a holiday… what the

Still Light Unveils Marissa M. ZhuMoonrise drapes her muslin throat across the room. Everything hushes. Desire folds itself into brocade: my letter pressed beneath perfume bottles, your name stitched inside a pillow's seam. The sky forgets its vowels. Fingers braid the air with rumor. Windows withhold our reflections. Your face is washed in cathedral glass. We soak harsh truths in amber-dipped tongues. Even our silences blush. — Daybreak has no patience for embroidery. Sunlight burns what

Morning Magic Maggie DeversA princess sits at the edge of my bedTelling fantastical stories,My sleepy head tripping over the details But in line with the nuance.She prattles like a caffeinated sage,Wisdom seeping out of jumbled phrases,Bits of stories, weaving togetherHer dreams, desires, realities.It’s all the same,She speaks her life.
