if winter was a berryburied in the garden, i’d bloom to holly
when the cold rolled around, grown
from leaf-rot and tree-decay / the snow
echoes against birch bark, blankets
the earth’s bed, lays rose roots to rest—

i am lost in the undergardenwhere glooming gourds grow under mushroom
trees and underbeans wrap around my ribs / scintlings
and rot fiends walk on deep soil, shimmering weeds
coat the grass and it shines the way my bones
scatter themselves in crinkling kelp

the canopy is home to me and the squirrelstogether we embrace the season’s chill,
frozen bark on branches and snow glistening
from the limbs / when they jump, i follow

Last Leaves Magazine just opened today for submissions. this is our first time connecting the theme to the previous issue, FEAST following HUNGER, and we can't wait to see what kind of amazing work gets sent our way!
it seems like just yesterday we started Last Leaves Magazine and now we just released Issue 6. we're closing in on 10 issues and the support we've received has been wild. free digital copies of our mag are available on our website <3
