Two Poems by Anurak Saelaow
Are these sad sashes all that’s left / from the bluster of it all? I take / a ribbon into my mouth and trace it / until I find my body.

Two poems by Changming Yuan

Two Poems by Tam Nguyen
what do we have? a hologram of blood / sanctimoniously held on a pedestal with too much pride to neglect.

Two Poems by Jocelyn Li
Kindle our fury, keep us bubbling / in a wok of absurdity for too long / and nothing will astonish us anymore.
Two Poems by Sharon Black
Like a loaf of bread in a birdcage you chase me and I run / like a sheet of beeswax rolled into a candle.
