"Almond Blossom" by Ellen Webre
I have spent a thousand years
picking myself out of the middle of nowhere

blossoms across a belly ful…

"Fourier" by Lihi Z
The voice spills / Over the telephone / Time morphed into frequency / And back again / A compression of sentiment / Unraveled by longing / It says: ‘hiiiii’
A conversation about nothing is spoken /…

"Man Gets Tired of Being in the Spotlight" by Kai River Blevins
(after Jacqui Germain)
Tells me that I’ve spent enough time
antagonizing him, corrupting his divine

"When You Were Gone" by Julia Pileggi

"You Guys, I Took Up Smoking Again" by Becca Yenser
This time with Natives, not my old bougie choice
Of American Spirits. I took up nail polish
In Millennial Pink. I started mixing Sangria
With Coca-Cola.
I went to work and dipped in and out of lives…

"I Love You, Rite Aid!" by Austin Beaton
And it’s not only the dollar aisle
or because you gave birth control
to a couple ex-girlfriends
or how you fed me Lexapro,
a pill Kanye West rapped about
in a studio probably not far
from a Rite Aid…

"A Poem for My Old Best Friend" by Kimiko Hirota
The pink skies and dry air
The blue tongues and dark secrets
soften like chalk pastels
on our fingerprints
Remember picking up pinecones
discovering the city by bike
surprised by anything

"Right Back With Coffee" by Shanna Alden
I have spent most of my life as a writer,
spinning universes and microscope lenses,
