truong in his living room & other poems

we were walking we could have
been in november instead of
june i could have been
a handsome doctor instead of

depends

sweating myself waterlogged i
could have been wheat noodle
lexicon or sweetened something
written on your hand

By Dusty Neu.

Jen Nia Mondo & other poems

seed held up to the light

oh how I love those little bones

when the women paint her hands with henna
they dip the brushes into lemon juice
to fix the pigment and no-one has eaten
since sun-up

the sheep gather nervously

By Rachel Sills.
