o lepidopterist he has a hooked nose,
a tall forehead unusually round
at the top, ill-fitting hairline to the sides
The lepidopterist
Mother, Weep Not for Me
When you came to see me,
I couldn’t see your face
from the fibreglass window.
If you glanced at my crippled body,
you could truly believe that I was still alive.
Poems by Tatum Hamernik
I don’t know if you cared
Or you lied
About wanting to get to know
Who I am
But I can’t stop replaying that night
In my head
With the soundtrack of an 80’s song
Looping around
It’s not words that I remember,
It’s senses
Waiting For the Light
the bookmark lay still on the floor,
a corpse unmoved by the scene.
Poems by Srinjay Chakravarti
Throughout the rest
Of our lives,
He meticulously records
All our daily transactions
In his ledger folios.
Poem by Ambrea Restorik
There is finally room to sit down
and lovingly paint your face.
Good Morning
grasp the new sky, pull in some hope
declare peace and pour some tea
in steaming mugs
