Moon Blood: Art by Bhavana Gesota
“Between the black and white,
Lie a multitude of colors.
White.
Refracted through the prism of—
thoughts, feelings, emotions.
Experiences.
Subjective.
Leaving the prism
To dissolve into nothingness.
Into the black.
Rendering the story irrelevant.
What remains is the outcome,
to be felt.
Welcome to my color palette.”
—Bhavana Gesota
Poets Don’t Sleep at Night, by Taya Vasilyeva
Watch video-poem of Taya Vasilyeva reading “Poets Don’t Sleep at Night.”
Drinking wine and watching stars falling.
Another sip, another sleepless night.
They will burn out into inky blackness
just like my muted thoughts, without a fight…
You Have to Cry, by Clive Matson
Watch video-poem of Clive Matson reading “You Have to Cry.”
Don't you know you have to cry?
You have to cry.
You have to cry out all those tears…
“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
