Blue Silence
If blues could've been whitewashed with words.. I would've turned over extra breaths on years to wipe clean the furrows that sit near my eyes Uncrated the ocean that sits storming in my throat & salvaged vigor from calm piers Yet....I suffer & let silence write my depths Wolfpack Contributor: Sarika Jaswani A new poem by Sarika Jaswani “Silkworm” A Fevers of the Mind Quick-9 Interview with Sarika Jaswani (artincrochet)
A Blossom For Your Song
We discovered Bossa Nova when The forsythia and Weeping cherry were In bloom, Outside the living room Where you Swirled me Round – a blur of cream and blue Upholstery – Dips And Spins Made easy On the hardwood floor. You’ve always been a better dancer than me. I’m a petal in your Palm, A blossom for your song.Bio: Samantha Terrell, author of Vision, and Other Things We Hide From (Potter's Grove Press, 2021) is a widely published American poet whose work emphasizes self-awareness as a means to social awareness.

A Fevers of the Mind Quick-9 Interview with Annest Gwilym
New Poetry by Annest Gwilym : “Insomniac” & “The Word Collector”
Static Ornate pavilions house Weary souls who lament On concrete existence static, But untenable are norms Driven by excess and folkways No longer arcane, No longer mores upheld in good faith, For lands immortal can no longer rest As opaque lines traverse skies gargantuan, And ever warming still, For dynamic fads drive static existence As ironic dichotomies shield Globalized economies From recession contrived Just as existence is demarcated By rates appraised and reproduced in silence, Just as subject to free will And value judgements echoed In collective sentiment, As fears of the unknown are effortlessly maintained And lost to a distinction without difference verifiable. Copycat Prowl on darling matriarch, As paths narrow And divergent ways diminish Just before your scarlet eyes, Howl on temptress as clouds dissipate and night grows weary, As jarred doors turn you away, How tables must have turned, In this the bleak and final end, Where prance you do Above physical remains contrived, Like the falsehoods you weave, A death shroud, self-fulfilled. Sordidus Intolerable aberrations denigrate disciples That pray by the riverside As dark waters wash Giving earth away, Where ‘Sordidus!’ is exclaimed upon the lips Of all intelligible souls amongst The desert dwellers, Wanderers In search of humility Amidst generational destruction, But cool winds whisper wondrous truths As pale skies darken as magenta dusk arises To lull forlorn men to moonlit trance As cosmic luster ignites Fervent hope, But wanderers Know no cleanliness In a world derived from bespoke truth And contaminated by soiled lands Tarnished by pure deceit, Like moon-rays crystalline, Our guiding spirit Primal.
