FICTION / Storm child

The majority of my early childhood was spent in a big house filled with endless possibilities. At least, that’s what my preteen self thought at the time.

POETRY / Raw Magnolias

This is a garden, these are my petals; this is my armoring plant

POETRY / burnt honey

i quite like the smell of cloves, even more when they're burning/ turning charcoal in front of my eyes

POETRY / The searing beast

Sweat beads upon my brow, my shirt begins to cling/ The vile monster's tendrils reach out, adhesive

POETRY / I've seen love

I've seen love/ Rolling down from a mother's eyes/ As she picks her lean child, bathed in innocent blood

POETRY / A means to an end

go further than/ what the hills have seen/ through their ice pick scars

FICTION / Hair cream

The mosque committee was quite displeased with Rashed, their young muezzin.

POETRY / A childhood memory

Dust patterns have gathered around my landline phone, huddling around the maroon. my fingerprints take some dust off of it, and they rejoice.

POETRY / How to exist

When there’s a lull in the air, I get the feeling that I’ve scraped the bottom of my fleshy insides.

A building, a tree, and a kid

Buckets of water I pour on my head; my vision gets blurry./ "The blurrier, the merrier", my mother said.
