My North Star
The ocean hums your name in whispers, a melody carried by tides that know no end— steady, unyielding, like the strength you quietly weave into each moment. You are the calm between waves, the stillness where dreams gather and grow, a reminder that patience is not idleness, but the art of believing in what is…

Italia
crushed red bull can on the train tracks in naples, I stop where people never get off. a glutton for americana. confession in a foreign country, sins lost in translation. This was written by our contributing writer, Azure Brandi.

Tea
Tea, in a pot, served in a china cup on a little saucer. Tea with the bag still in, It’s cold, but it’s comfortingly so. There’s bread that’s stale, It’s dusty, And I’d like to read a newspaper. It’s a day for sitting crossed-legged on the floor, It’s always a day to sit crossed-legged on…

Orange
Orange peels. Cinnamon sticks, season of the witch. Mary Jane’s and socks with frills, there’s bows and scarves, and I think pip mentioned bread. Or berries. The air makes me think of ink pens, the kind that smudge on the page and leave reminders on your hands all day long. That’s not a summer pen,…

Shattered Echoes
I. The Fall I built a home within your arms, where laughter danced like candle flames, where whispered vows in midnight dark were etched upon my fragile frame. You spoke in verses soft and sweet, each syllable a silken thread, I wove them into tapestries and laid them where I laid my head. But love…

The Darling Doe
She is the Darling Doe, Made flesh with the curves of a woman, A love letter to the meadows her mother roams. The windows to her soul dance with a marriage of honey and chocolate, As if the spirit of innocence from the terrified doe was captured on the face of a woman. Mercury does…
