licking my wounds running out of saliva
Ellen Kom
sunbeam
squeezing through rainforest
her married life
Bipasha Majumder (De)
frayed jersey —
those knitting classes
i never took
Rupa Anand
aged fiddler
plays a goodbye song—
summer’s last cricket
Shelly Smith
getting tattooed
a rose eternally
blooming
Alvin B. Cruz
a dozen moons —
slicing onions Kaushal Suvarna
returning to yourself
at dawn: where was I going?
is it still yesterday?
Thomas Klodowsky
swans' dance
the repeated bows
of the old dancer
Mirela Brailean
forging a key out of the steel of a lock
Simone Pansolin
a monk
meditates
in the moonlight
on his hut
an owl hoots
David He
long night — both insomniacs me and the moon
Dan C. Iulian
