Our love was safest when the Jade Rabbit
came out
his light illuminating the dark sky.
It was then that we would trace our fingers
letting them linger
on the napes of necks and tips of lips.

I mouthed out the syllables to the
rhythm of clacking keys
The page loaded—not quick
enough for me to ignore how stupid
the question looked, musing now manifested—
and told me all the world’s answers…

You were always the moon to me
I would wait for the Jade Rabbit
to come out so you would too
because that was when our love was safest
cast away the complexity of colors
bathed only in blacks and grays

To Selene we pray—
On this cold crepuscular evening, we race to Little Dan Hole Pond
To see the miracle—

White as porcelain the way to the wilderness
And the leaves coloured silver and dark
Shadows are the thresholds that lead me
Through nomoi beyond the human realm

I have failed you, Goddess. The fate of heaven and earth cannot rest on my shoulders lest all creation follow me to my shallow grave. I dream of smoke, reborn of fire, I’d soon adjust to my newfound immortality as I’d take to the human custom of clothing.

Long ago and long forgotten in a forest buried deep in the old country, there once lived a young maiden. The story goes that she was sent to spend her life alone because of a curse placed upon her father. The man was unable to learn the truth about selflessness and sacrifice, so an enchantress took his only child in hopes to make him understand the value of those characteristics.

Slain by the fruitless sky, an athel tree slumbers with a groan. Its only flower teeters in the cradle of an abandoned wasp’s hive. Though its life has lapsed, its roots continue to grow like varicose veins. Through and into the city, it reaches out, choking it.

“Live by the sun / Love by the moon”
A cheap rhyme I scribbled down
and tucked into the corner of my gown
Sentimentality sounds prettier
when she’s dressed in satin and lace

Jaguar crone chases the sun
Her lover disappears beneath Tides she controls
Long ago, they wove medicine
All bodies of water into existence

It was late in the evening and a chilly breeze rattled through his bones. He was rushing home from the corner store with a bag of groceries with his eyes on his feet, making sure he didn’t slip and fall. He should have looked up, but he didn’t. That’s when his body slammed into another, softer body and rebounded backward.

On a warm summer night in the middle of June, Clara woke suddenly to the sound of children laughing outside her bedroom window. Wanting to play too she threw off her lilac sheets, raced to her closet, and pulled out her boots of the same color. Not wanting to wake up her parents and be told to go back to bed she silently slid her chair under her window and climbed out, landing softly on the damp grass below.

A long time ago on a dusty old shelf
Sat a pot of jelly who talked to herself.
She’d mumble all day, but at night she did stare
Right up at the moon that hung in the night air.

Night had settled in by the time Hằng finished hauling in the last cardboard box filled with her belongings into the apartment. Hands on her hips, she let out a huff as she surveyed her new home. The studio apartment, with its chalky white walls and simple hardwood flooring, left its personality up to her.

Whenever my name comes up in Selene’s court, she giggles and lifts an ivory hand to barely obscure a waxing grin. “Muia, you ask?” she’ll muse coyly. “Why, I turned her into a fly. A wretched little girl, how irksome.”

The surgeon of hand bones said
a constellation of time, pressure and genetics
caused the osteoarthritic pain
at the base of my thumbs.

“I wanted to pose a side to the siren that isn’t generally represented; the idea that they also feel emotions, and may even feel guilty about their innate desire to drown sailors. It was always something I considered and was excited to have the opportunity to write a flash fiction piece about it!” —

“I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the definition of ‘siren’ — from mermaids to seraphs and how this exploration led me to a feminist exploration of the term. I also enjoyed conveying this visually through the styled shoot. I would happily contribute to this magazine again if given the opportunity. It was a singularly amazing experience that I will never forget.” —
We are so fortunate to be showcasing the über-talented in this photo editorial. She photographed and styled the shoot, plus she wrote a beautiful poem to accompany it. It’s a must-see 🤍
