Two Black Dresses by Jonathan Ferrini

Every day at three o’clock as the afternoon sun fought through the dusty windows and the high school down the street let out, a teenage girl would slip quietly into the boutique....

Winter in My Garden by George Freek

Summer’s flowers are gone.All that’s leftare decaying remains.The trees are bare;Yet I can recallwhen leaves were there.In my garden a hammock,where my wife used to lie,creaks in a bitter wind,descending from the sky.As winter approaches,I talk to my cat,to the moon and the stars.They have nothing to say....

Devotion by Huina Zheng

She used to believe. Obedient, gentle and considerate since childhood, Ling washed dishes, mopped floors, folded laundry, and cared for her younger brother, doing everything her parents expected. But now, for the first time, she began to doubt. She stared at the phone in her hand. Her mother’s voice still echoed in her ears. The phone felt warm, reminding her it wasn’t a hallucination....

Salty by Charley Lenton-Lyons

Do slugs look at snailswith resentment?Similar in form,gifted the home they weren'tafforded. A cosy place toput your foot up atthe end of a tough day. Furiously munching weeds,wishing the birds wouldrainsaltdownon their affluent neighbours. Shells vacated -ready for new tenants. Charley Lenton-Lyons is a UK-based poet with a background in zoology and social research. Their work explores human-nature entanglements, quiet violence, and ecological absurdity through image-driven poems.

In Her Absence by Kushagra Shringi

I see her in hazy sunlight,in busy mornings, in quiet nights,In shadows that fall on empty wallsin every dream I still recall. I hear her in the silence of night,in whispered prayers, in echoes light,Her laughter softens all my pain,like light breaking through the rain. I smell her in the passing air,in empty rooms, she's always there,...

The Jump by Jim Bates

I didn't expect so many people to be standing around on the cliff overlooking the Yellow Knife River, but there were, maybe fifteen or so, mostly young folks in their twenties just hanging out, joking around and having a good time, everyone looking tan and fit. It was honestly not what I expected at all. Scared as I was, I found the festive atmosphere kind of distracting and that was probably a good thing, given my growing unease....

Un ‘Ecrivain Français by Michael Grignon

Deep into a meditative journey, I find myself perched at a table in the back of Café Le Rêve. Tucked underneath a crimson awning, I have a partial, but adequate view of the boulevard that stretches in front of me. The restaurant is silent except for the sounds of another patron flipping through a folded paperback book. This ambiance provides an ideal office, but has yet to aid in the process....
