I am (not)

By Kendall Donovan

I am not you

or the way you wake up in the morning

I am not the way you comb your hair

or drive a car


Aphrodite Defiled

By Farah Dianputri

I didn’t ask for your 

insecurities

Or your hands 

To venerate me.


Our House of Personality

By Ethan Davis

Your foundation is no different than that of your neighbors,

    ground firmly into the cool of the Earth with no concern

    for those who dwell above you.

Your walls beg to tell a different story, desperate for language

By Jacob Cone

The lights of the city shine brighter than any star.

a cool breeze cuts through the humid night air.

the sidewalk is cracked by too many steps in everyone’s one-thousand-mile journey.
