Birdie, by Tressa Brittin Berman
Now I am going to tell a story. What they used to tell about.

Moon Blood: Art by Bhavana Gesota
“Between the black and white,
Lie a multitude of colors.
White.
Refracted through the prism of—

Into the black.
Rendering the story irrelevant.
What remains is the outcome,
to be felt.
Welcome to my color palette.”
—Bhavana Gesota

Your Name, by Jennifer Mills Kerr
Heavy on my tongue,
hard candy that doesn’t

“The darkness in you will begin to glow, and you will see clearly... If you will light your lamp you can gaze far over the ocean and even embark on it. Sitting in your chair you can travel farther than ever...”
Art by Sarah Burkle
