Still Rise
by Leigh Yah

For months I've been trying to write
Trying to keep my pace, trying to fight
Organizing my words...it felt like suffering from a concussion
'Cause in scribbling I see no passion.

For weeks I've been trying to read
Fiction stories I love indeed
Thank you, Lori Brighton
I was able to explore the world in a new dimension.

Burden
by Pauline Grey

A text for her birthday, a text for mine
Long digital letters once every few months
To catch up on how we’re doing.
Wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
Who could guess that she’s the most important person in my life?
If I text her more, will she get tired of me?
Is she… already tired of me?

She says she’s excited to see me. But what if she’s not?
What if she just doesn’t want to hurt my feelings

Doubts
by Ken Ripley

Why do you doubt that the sun in the sky
Is the same as the stars at night?
Why do you doubt that the grass is green
And the heavens are sunny and bright?

Why do you doubt that children are small
And like to peel bread from the crust?
And why do you doubt the God up above
And where will you place your trust?

Cockroach Race
by Igor Vykhovanets

Clara and Karl

Karl and Clara—
Fools, but paired.
Faithful, hopeful,
Yet impaired.

Building dreams
Through storm and night,
Where dark and hate

Running
by Tash Jane

Do you suffer loneliness at night?
Keep a hold
Are you stirred, shattered and shy?
Don't let it go

Is there any doubt when the hurt, the hurt it does you proud?

Draw circles round the targets,
Look how far you've came.
With bare feet, keep running

De Goochelaar
by Mario Odekerken

Als ik het kon,
zou ik je uit mijn hoed toveren,
glimlachend,
alsof je daar altijd al had gewacht.

Zou ik je laten verdwijnen
tussen het gordijn van mijn gedachten
om in mijn slaapkamer
tot verschijning te komen
zoals alleen jij dat kan:

Werkelijkheid
by Mario Odekerken

De kamer is stil,
maar mijn hoofd beweegt.
Gedachten schuiven als wolken
voorbij een zon die ik niet zie.

Ik kijk naar mijn handen
alsof ze me iets willen vertellen
wat ik allang vergeten ben.

Mijn dromen zijn dromen

Voorzichtig
by Mario Odekerken

Tussen zeggen en zwijgen
ligt een adem
die twijfelt.

Niet alles wat breekt
maakt geluid.

Wanneer gezichten boekdelen vertellen
by Mario Odekerken

Er zijn momenten
waarop woorden te laat komen.
Waar stilte niet leeg is,
maar vol van betekenis.

Een frons die twijfelt,
ogen die iets zoeken
wat niet uitgesproken wil worden.

Een glimlach,

When doubt becomes a reality
by Mario Odekerken

There is a moment
when the question no longer floats
but lands,
heavy and still,
on the floor between us.

What was once a flicker
becomes form-
a shadow that stands
where certainty used to breathe.
