February (the sister poem to this) - by V.W.
[Image ID: A screenshot of a poem that reads:
February blossoms over the year like frost / across a window and suddenly the days are / a bit longer and the sun comes out and the / world is so bright it hurts. You step outside / and it hurts, seeing all that vivid light bouncing / off the snow. And you think–every year you / think–my god, was the world always this / illuminated? Does it really shine like this / every winter? You think, this must be what / it’s like for a newborn, opening their eyes / for the first time. You think, I still feel like / a newborn. Another year, another month, / another day of snow and light and I still / know almost nothing. Another day and / I still only know the accumulation of my life, / which is everything. What a blessing, you think, / to be hurt by the shining of the sun. /End ID]

A Wish at Dawn — V.W.
[Image ID:
The new year offers January
like a wish, waiting to
be made. I haven’t felt
human in far too
many weeks. December,
I think, held on too
tight. I ache all over. My
insides are blue, purple,
and black, like a bruise.
I feel too delicate
to
touch.
But—
But,
days are getting longer,
the sun is beginning to linger
and there is relief just beyond the horizon.
I know it. I know it. I
feel it rising
at
dawn. /End ID]

The sea and the sailor agree on a drowning // AJC // 2023
still writing about drowning it seems
[ID: White text on a dark grey background. It reads:
The sea and the sailor agree on a drowning
He says come, I’ll take you aboard in waves, you can trickle and drip and settle in the bilges.
It says come, I’ll rock you to sleep on my swell.
A.J.C.
