    Pink flowers like lace,
    Drop! To the clean wooden floor
    The vase is naked.

    Stone-yellow castle guarding

    the blue tit’s eyestripe –
    from the great calligrapher
    a stroke of a brush

    Heart hollowed, empty breath,
    Blue, if not for you

    the last blooms of Queen Anne’s lace
    soon, an early frost

    Autumn worn—wind torn
    the last blooms of Queen Anne’s lace
    soon, an early frost

    *Sorry, it cut off the first letter of Autumn.

Christmas in the Share-house by Mandy Partridge

I spent fifteen years celebrating Christmas in share-houses around Brisbane, Australia. As a poor student, I rented rundown Queenslanders with two, three or four friends, so I could still afford food after rent and bills. I rode my bicycle to uni, work or the grocery shop

Driving the Loop by J.M. McNeely-Kirwan

Manny drove through the night on a narrow highway that curved constantly to the right, threading its way through a forest. The trees hung low over the tarmac like they wanted to take back every square inch.

Panic Attack 2 by Romana Capek

Gray morning. The clouds did not lift as the forecast had predicted. I spent a sleepless night because I drank a cup of a strong black tea earlier in the evening. I look at my watch on the nightstand; it shows nine o’clock. I am cold and trying to get warm under a lightweight summer blanket.

Life With You by Kristina Pudlewski

It was December 23rd, only two days before Christmas. Children play outside in the snow and families rush into stores to get last minute items for their holiday gatherings. But I am in the hospital with you, Max, my love.
