'I've Planned Your Death For Years' by Courtney LeBlanc
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazineWhen your kidneys shut
down and a machine began to filter
your blood: 8-hours, three times
a week, a day after to recover –
your life an exhausted cycle
of hope and despair.
When a new-to-you
kidney was sewn into your body,
your dead, gray kidneys pushed
aside to make room
for the bright-with-blood
imposter.
'Crabapple Elegy' by Emily Stoddard
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazineThey say you should hold
your breath when passing the cemetery,
​
but I do not fear the reach
of the dead.
When she died—Christmas morning,
an unforecasted veil of snow--
our chests were undone.
I learned the sounds a body makes
as it unhooks itself.
Each begins with breath.
'Nocturne with "Kickstart my Heart" Playing in the Background' by Amorak Huey
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazineWhen a rock star dies,
the moon goes hungry.
When a rock star is reborn,
jolted back to the stage
by gasoline and guitar strings
and the kiss of someone else’s
girlfriend, the planets burn.
There’s no word for a moment like this,
for being in such a hurry
to love each other
that time dries on our tongues.
'S' by Charika Swanepoel
(excerpt)
Read the full piece in the magazineI’ve always been sentimental
about my family name.
It amazes me,
scraps of paper,
my grandmother’s handwriting;
the way she swirled the S.
I’d like to think it means something
more than what I cannot tell.
I’d like to keep my name,
“What’s in a name” you’ll ask
and I’ll say: “Almost everything.”
