SPRING 2025
FROM THE ARCHIVE
Alive to Beauty
“In my notebook, I write fragments / About things that make me feel awe — / The way sunlight catches water, / The way fallen fruit rests on the ground. / Next to this list, I write words: / Undoing, being undone.”
Stingrays Asleep
“Brand new promotion, I’m tired like my thermostat. / Wormholes and axes and scourges of men flaunter. / Pollution of life — family doesn’t give back sometimes. / Find a nest and try to feel alright.”
The Body is a Glorified Hotel
“Though the walls are frequently claustrophobic, confining / And the constant familiarity of our company / Is simultaneously too much and too little, / Too routine and too alien, / This glorified hotel, our body, our flesh, / Is our shelter, perfect imperfections and all”
Statewide-Lockdown, Day Thirty-Eight
“Too many variables. / Also, irrational beings on Earth. / One spark burns a forest. / One misstep pulls society down a well.”
