Growing Older
I push a seed through the dirt, bursting the watery film of membrane wrapped around the soil’s cranium with tendon-deep greed and the strained color spill of fleece white knuckles digging for color hoping to swap samples of sap for the gooey, numb blood of truffles and evergreens and gold wanting to extract pine needles …

The Weight Of A Smile
Behind the curve of a painted grin, Lies a storm I carry deep within. A stage set bright, where I play my part, While shadows whisper in my heart. Threads unravel, yet I weave, A fabric of strength they won’t perceive. For eyes that watch, I bear the sun, But in the night, I come…

Disease
Line me up with your hands gloved in garden – barbed wire thorns to lacerate soft flesh and mark scars like the passage of time bind my hands like a hook on a string to the boards that defy the waves of my back and force-feed me between your finger and thumb ripe like the pearls…

The Attraction
You stare at me while I’m not looking, Sending a surge of excitement up from my stomach to my head, Sitting by your side, Feeling your warmth, Energizes my being. Time doesn’t exist as the moment catches us in it. This was written by our contributing writer, Lyndsey Richards.
