A literary magazine for quiet pieces that find their own sources of light

Poetry

September

Ivan Ling
issue two.


gave me a heads-up, but arrived

earlier than expected & while

browning leaves drizzle in gold snow

elsewhere, the absolute horror of

evening traffic was working unpaid overtime.

does it change anything, then? watching

the same sunrises dance in wisps

of hydrangea blues & tulip pinks,

& as sunsets pull down their curtains

draped in emboldened ambers, I know

from my birthday, there are only

117 days left.
