Nature’s Beauty It runs through the lush veins of the Amazon From the summit of Mt. Everest to the sunken Death Valley This love, this power, it runs through everything Through the world’s towering palms and sea trenches One could never describe it One may only feel it deep in their soul It pulsates through our skin and our bones We crave for it’s endless presence But nature's beauty may not last long The purest seed of them all Corrupted by the frightening fist Of man’s ever growing industry Some may neglect nature’s true value To promote their potent and despicable lies Neglecting that our climate is rapidly changing When it is so clearly vastly degrading

Temporary Permanence I’ve always been scared to write in pen. Because, to me, that feeling of permanence is terrifying. Even though paper is temporary––and eventually, in the wide and ever expanding scope of time, so is what I am writing––it truly matters where that paper came from and where my ideas were set to brew and simmer in my provisional mind. I’d like to hope that it’s widely known that paper is from trees, but that really is the extent of the general knowledge. In actuality, it's a strenuous process, the tree undergoes their limbs being chopped and skinned. If we were to assume trees had feelings, no matter how far-fetched it sounds, they too would scream and shout as they were pummeled into pages, thin as paper…disposable. As an empath, I can share that it would be an unbearable pain, splintering even. And so the question is posed, how am I supposed to empty my idea-cramped brain without considering the various moral and philosophical implications that would arise should I write on paper? While I haven’t pledged an oath of “never again shall I commit the sinful act of using paper,” I’ll settle for writing in pencil. The comfort of writing in pencil is temporary, but the ease in which I can simply erase is almost intoxicating. My concepts easily traverse the parchment as I translate them from the catacombs of my brain to tangible and human ideas, all in lead shaped perfectly to the point we desire. In a fury and a hurry to jot things down, whether it be notes, sketches, words upon words; erasing is a reminder. In a colloquial sense, it is a reminder to take my whirling thoughts one at a time. In an exhale, my mistake could be wiped off the page: like a rushing river or with a spring gust, it’s gone. I have been taught that without an eraser, not even the sincerest apologies can make those mistakes disappear, and so I have learnt to rely on the impermanence of pencil. Just as the lumberer does not apologize to the live oaks for chopping them down (for it is his job), I cannot apologize for the words that indent my paper. They have a symbiotic relationship, one of erasure and reincarnation into a new form. Mistakes are to be made and to be forgotten, that’s what I’ve learned. Graduating from the sometimes elementary usage of pencil has been a difficult journey. One of many cliché ups and downs, but a journey nonetheless. I’ve left behind smudges lining the side of my hand and the pink eraser twigs that sprawl out upon wide ruled paper. The authenticity that is facilitated through the usage of pen is something like no other. Smooth strokes of ballpoint string my letters together, mimicking cursive with every swoop and swirl. My words unbridledly and unabashedly fill the lines ––overflowing down the margins––taunting me as they attempt to leap off the edges of my pages. Fortunately, the ink solidifies within the pores of the bleached bark and the phrases assume their meaning with reluctant enthusiasm. The thoughts flow out of my mind down the thin black stripes of permanence. It feels like nothing a pencil could provide. I suppose one could label this euphoric sensation and catharsis a sort of temporary permanence. Physically, by changing the writing utensil, I’ve overcome the necessity to erase. Regardless of whether or not they’re printed along fine-lined sheets, my thoughts no longer show cowardice to permanence. It wasn’t pen or pencil, it was them. My thoughts that craved to find a place upon that line; that crawled out of my fathomless cerebral caverns hurriedly; that needed to discover, that definition of permanence.

the darkness light which is the hour of night? which is the hour of morning? the little man in the sky greets the stars for the thousandth time the little man on the moon meanders through craters when is too late known as far too early? fireflies flicker flames crackling the crow screeches at the morning that dares to dew the sun not risen the moon not fallen yet the sun’s gleam is the darkness light the day asks what is morning and what is night?

Blue Lenses Blue Lenses by Daphne Du Maurier is a short story that left a lasting impression on me weeks after reading it. In the story, Marda West has undergone surgery that will hopefully let her see again. However, instead of human faces, she sees the people in her life represented as animals, with a blue haze around everything else. The three panels are complemented with a slumped piece of clear blue glass. This means that the glass is in the shape of a bowl to represent the lenses through which Marda is seeing the world. I wanted this to give the audience an immersive experience and let it encourage further inquiry into this story. The first panel depicts Nurse Ansel as a snake, with many green shades, accompanied by an abstract stethoscope to demonstrate her status as a nurse. The second panel depicts Jim, Marda's husband, as a vulture. In nature, vultures are a symbol of death and bad luck, which connects to his actions by engaging in an affair with Nurse Ansel. Lastly, I wanted to recreate the scene where Marda sees herself in the mirror for the first time as a doe, emphasizing two things in this panel; The fact that she is looking in a mirror, and her shocked eyes. The intended effect of the piece overall is to observe and analyze the imagery and symbolism in the book when it comes to the double meaning of animals, which reveals an underlying truth about the characters we meet in this story.

I went walking cross icy roads I went walking cross icy roads followed surely by the moon, sailing cross the deep blue sky if only I could leap to her to stow among the stars pulling tide to get to you oh how I wish I could if I could whisper secrets to the chirping of the birds and they could fly past miles to sing sweetly in your ear oh how I wish I could to come home all day weary and climb into my bed and have you follow with me oh how I wish I could

Orb Weaver I’m settled at the intersection of three trails like highways, the hill held by still white branches, the gold globe laughing as the land lost light. Within shouting distance I aspire that I might understand him better. I saw his eyes once, they were hazel, ridges of the valley in reflection. He, sitting on a fell tree, does not watch the honeycomb star fall or perceive the growing dark. He has a narrow view, one way in under brush and bramble, one way out. In shade I study myself, suspended in spun silk between three roads of soil, cedar, saplings, and a sprig of something sweet. I am nameless, unafraid to grow. I know nothing dies here, not really. Even in my bones.

Why I Write I stole from Orwell and Didion and Williams and I tell you, when I tell you that I write, I mean I am not best suited for your lecture halls and tests, or to analyze each sentence from the books on my shelf, dust collectors, allergens, and I am hardly intellectual and swear that what I know aside from this is void, nothing, trivial: that I wear emptiness, a silver circlet round my head, and know myself as made for truly nothing, but regardless, when I tell you that I write, I mean I print every letter like my last.

Heart Trust if I could cover up I would and escape the constant question to it. I could cease to hide the things that hurt and show off every shining sea inside. I cannot cover up, or find another place to fit my heart–– instead you’ll see me reach up to your cheek and brush your freckles with my fingertips–– there on my sleeve it swings, a heavy charm to bruise my wrist beet red. It will be gentle just so long as I am calm or until you make me warm, when my careful soul is sold to set free feelings in the shape of storms, to make my whole world bleed, or let you breathe.

A firm grip on my skin gentle and calloused fingers dance upon my every curve as if tracing blessed constellations interlaced with divinity i feel beautiful here he breathes as i exhale hands entangled and hearts in tune bury me in this grace evermore allow me to find solace in the comfort of his arms i am home with anything worth living for you must sort out the weeds though not with ease always worth it in the end i dream of you in oil paintings sometimes your ethereal ashen eyes dotted with time we touch souls, after years, after months i set my heart to rest you are my best friend i mourn with stained gratitude lustful modernism holds no space between us looking within the utopian reflection only to find his arm draped around my hip unmoved in truth wrinkles adorned upon both beings a beautiful picture the art of eternity doesn’t poison me with fear as it used to not when i lie to rest and see you beside me cover me with lavender lilies and stroke my hair lay your head on my chest, we have dreams to share

Self-repentance I still see her photographs, same as her cold figure kneeling by my bedside She wishes to be purified Distorted pictures, mangled with fingerprints Recall my crime, Overbearing, I have to look away, headache, heart, and soul throbbing from a memory’s pleading eyes I’ll recall the unseen beauty instead, Of rain-swollen cheeks, her tainted sneers A silvery sickness, carmine, and aluminum kisses, promised her lurid ecstasy Rust to taint and threaten, sing us both a dissonant lullaby of genial fabrications Our secret's sharp cantaloupe flushed edges flicker and yet reflect only me, torment and embrace us both I imagine that these false reflections would purge the sin, I reminisce and remember how they did Whisper to her flickering lies, remind her of serpent dances we once shared These are privileges only those of the twin tapestries of plaited arteries share Quivering warmth to converge with our mother's soil, reborn from her rain-swollen belly The novelty always begins to fade away and I forget, Her porcelain shell has been defaced, it marks our thousandth day of suffering I imagine I’ll have to apologize once I see her again I imagine, I pray she’d forgive me In turn, I look over I entwine our fingers as we try for one more day I call this ‘expiation’

Our False Adam Peaceful putrid benevolence Falls to the ills that mankind seems to revere Until a diluted heart such, flimsy and forlorn at the seams Can only ache and flail at the realization Pure, doe-eyed, scintillating beneath the sun the Toils of a proffering god and shunned divinity Granted to our unforgiving world That which I know too well still Has well been basted within the sickness of the land The lands probity is stolen from her And even my creator, duplicitous, claimed to cherish Eve’s gifts Feigns fatality and too joins hands with our mother’s villains And perverts me and her both Her kisses upon my skin, leaving an iron taste upon mother earth’s lips Does not aid the stinging dejection reflected in the very existence of my pious being As I can only weep at her feet, forsaken a babe such as I It is my only duty, to return to her bosom

She is with me no more i lie here reader struggling to remind myself of your ever-changing alibi blood lips, rosy lips, or maybe a rich chocolate yes! chocolate eyes swirled with a touch of saturated sea moss no sapphire, no quartz! or maybe aqua blue rare, maybe true, how cute, aqua blue with a slightly rounded nose that ties the rest into place with dainty white lace pink floral adornment not perfect but correct you remind me of a friend, reader to whom i owe an apology chronologically she is fortunately with me no more but I’m sure you’re different even slightly, just suspicion even then, i stare into this unstable reflection the cracked shards of glass a central break where my body lies blood ties, bathroom floor, she is with me no more.

i write i write to connect i write to feel to understand the five-year-old girl who understood nothing i write to grab onto the flower that bloomed between a rock and a hard place born in the hellfire of the volcano i write to hear my own thoughts drowned by the screaming speeding scything blitzkrieg crowding out my own ideas i write to think to compute the process words flowing out a mile a minute tracing out patterns so familiar racing across a thousand pictures screaming to the heavens as if the words had already been written

Aureliano, Filius Aurelianis Buendiae What am I to you but one of seventeen? Am I someone you can throw away? Spend your life hunting down the man who rose and fell but failed both because of and in spite of himself? Who am I but one of seventeen sons flocking in from near and far just to meet his old man? My countenance refuses to stand out in a lineup Look the same Work the same Want the same Die the same Marked the same Seventeen crosses for seventeen sons Who am I to stand out? Am I nothing But a father’s son? Who will weep when I die? Who will screech out to the birds of my passing As they pass judgemental glares Unto the passed man they pass? Sporadic

Erratic

Heretic And hazmatic I never stop running only to fool my foolish mind as if they won’t find me as if the clock doesn’t tick tick tick towards my death My blood boils and suddenly my eyes twitch Who was planning to tell me that I am a deer Each meeting filled with viciously voracious lions? I only stop when they get me

Hide when they fret me Grow where they let me I only cry out for my mama when I’m not in visibility Barred out and stitched shut my third eye My intuitions and premonitions and emotional partitions Died They suffocated on the cross He drew No choice no say Unapologetically permanently epoxied on me Branded by the mark of God Only to be left unsaved I am not a believer but instead one forced to believe He told me of the gates but refused to give me the keys Just told me that they are locked Where is Gabriel to tell me of my future persecution? I am hiding from a feeling, a suspicion, a foreboding execution What did I do but be born? Born into a world, baptized with a name, confirmed into a cathedral Cemented upon the sturdy sacredness Of sand I wish not to be my father I bear the weight of a Buendia Yet still barred from the covet Shackled to time’s turning wheel But only an Amador What is in a name But seventeen “golden boys”? Etched on the cross on which they died, I will die Aureliano, Filius Aurelianis Buendiae

“The Doc is in the House" By Anonymous

Extended Metaphor I lounge and sink into the leather couch. Sometimes, I feel like it’s engulfing me. The apathy and craving to move, but just one more minute in this spot. The couch is eighteen, old. Like the dogs hopped on it too many times and people came to it for comfort but stole its feathering. It feels ancient, like a whittled brick, I don’t know how people continue to seek it out to find a place to rest. It’s been in one spot my whole life and is a whisper of its former self. The couch is just stuck sunk and sinking. Its feet of redwood could be one with the stained marble floors, and no one would know. Things would be so much better if it could move, yet it stays stagnant. I continue sitting; another hour. For the furniture, it’s just another lazy Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I mean, the couch is doing what it’s supposed to, right? It’s on the job, but gets nothing done. Life passes by, people come through temporarily, but everything tends to stay in place- the same. I need to pack today. That’s why I turn on the TV. The wobbly legs of the couch shake with the bass of Phineas and Ferb. The legs are essentially useless when an object is this immobile. I play with feathers I pulled from the Chanukah cat pillow. Feathers are soft, comforting, but when I break one I grab ten more. Pillows and cushions are filled with the stuff, they can handle a little loss. The thing is, though, I don’t keep the feathers. The dogs might chase them, or they end up on the carpet, but never back in the cushions. People rarely notice the difference, though. Friends and family and partners and strangers I barely know can take some, and it's gradual and incremental enough that there’s no large harm. I’m around eighteen episodes deep into Phineas and Ferb. I’ve watched it ten times, and my suitcase still beckons me. I like it here, though. It’s easier to watch shows than have the ones you make be judged. After some time of staying in one spot, you forget you ever wanted to be somewhere else. That is, until you’ve been stuck here long enough that the crappy room to the right would be like a trip to Hawai’i. With my body glued to the furniture and wanting to move, I wonder where would a couch fit in a dining room? It’s not meant to be there, that’s why it’s stayed. The couch is meant to be here. It’s six P.M. at this point. I don’t know when I originally sat on the couch today. In actuality, I’ve probably been here for days. I know I need to get stuff done, but… I can’t. The pillow deflates. The cold, hard, edge of the couch sinks into my side. I think about moving, yet I don’t. My parents had discussed taking the couch with me to college. It feels wrong, though. Pieces of furniture are supposed to stay where they are, not travel state lines. The absurdity of a couch going to college is almost funny. It’d be hectic and stressful to move and totally out of place. I’ve heard, though, that some students bring their couches to school, even if weird or out of place, they make it work. But, eighteen years feels so ancient and decrepit, why does the couch have to move to new places and see new things? I don’t know. The season finale plays and the TV goes dark. Another day, wasted in the same spot. I stare at the black-inked screen. I pull some more feathers, playing with them. I don’t know if it was from stress or just plain fidgeting, but I keep pulling and playing. Suddenly, I snap upright, and leave. The couch stays in its place. I pack and fold and stuff my suitcase. I have to decide whether to bring my childhood sketchbooks, pride flags, assortment of anime figurines and tchotchkes. It’s like packing up my life and deciding what memories get to accompany me. I zip up my suitcase before I can keep thinking. With a crumpled sticky note I scribble ‘Mail Me’. I lay the note on the couch for my parents. I guess they were right, maybe a couch can go to college.
