Vitrine by Aaron Lelito It’s like walking through a dusty museum,the marble floor holding its ground beneath,the gaps making an oeuvre of echoesonly an arbitrary foot could summon. The diamond sharp seconds of lucidity. Thoughts: the marginalia that cleave… The palate sharpened as language secedes. Anchoritic Leisure by Aaron Lelito Shake hands,talk of this and… Read more

I am that undesirable punishment,that takes your kind heart,to save you from the horrors. I am that juicy pleasure;almost like a doubtful pain,you… Read more

Darknessas an obscure cloud,hovering over me,weighing me down. Voiddestroying my heart,destroying my soul,making a mere shell of a human out of me. This site contains… Read more

Of the Snow by Preston Chan The glistening snow on my backHalts the frozen death around me.Looking down, four delicate fluffs of snowOh wait, that’s only me. I look around, nothing beyond yonder exceptAn endless dark mahogany array of lifeless trees. Nothing in sight, so shall I askWhat am I doing here? Daringly sickening like… Read more

A Letter to my Best Friend by Mo Unwin When I was in darknessYou lit up a bridgeAcross the river.We crossed it and walkedAll over the city.We got drunk,We soared from bar to bar,Birds free to float aboutKnowing no one would hurt us.You’d never let them.Then we went homeWankered.I told you thatYou’ll always mean the… Read more
