Garden of Sprites by Lyndsey Hylton

Before You Returned by Shahida Latif

Before You Returned by Shahida Latif Who peeps into through the broken windows? Who faltering advances adorning lamps of tears? Whose lashes luster with the gleamy glassy pearls? Who pants lying prostrate at the sill of the door? Isn’t he the same partner, companion who scorned, And falsely vowed thousand of times to be faithful? […]

Aquí te hubiese amado by Luz del Alba Nicola

Aquí te hubiese amado by Luz del Alba Nicola Sobre los arenales se desliza la tarde y alas de plata pintan un cielo de zafiro. Anclados en el muelle del amor, los recuerdos, saben a sal y muestran sus bordes carcomidos. Aquí y en otro ahora tú eras el canto mismo del mar, cual caracola, […]

And because Love battles by Pablo Neruda

Orlando Furioso Canto 19 by Ludovico Ariosto

ARGUMENT Medoro, by Angelica’s quaint hand, Is healed, and weds, and bears her to Catay. At length Marphisa, with the chosen band, After long suffering, makes Laiazzi’s bay. Guido the savage, bondsman in the land, Which impious women rule with civil sway, With Marphisa strives in single fight, And lodges her and hers at full […]

Orlando Furioso Canto 18 by Ludovico Ariosto

ARGUMENT Gryphon is venged. Sir Mandricardo goes In search of Argier’s king. Charles wins the fight. Marphisa Norandino’s men o’erthrows. Due pains Martano’s cowardice requite. A favouring wind Marphisa’s gallery blows, For France with Gryphon bound and many a knight. The field Medoro and Cloridano tread, And find their monarch Dardinello dead. I High minded […]

His Insufficiency Of Praise by Luis Vaz de Camoes

So sweet the lyre, so musical the strain, By which my suit, Belovëd! is expressed, That, hearing them, no such indifferent breast But welcomes Love and his delicious pain, And opes to his innumerable train Of sweet persuasions, lovely mysteries, Brief angers, gentle reconcilements, sighs And ardour unabash’d by proud disdain. Yet, when I strive […]

Urban Caterpillar by Minal Sarosh

On the gantry the red pigeon bead eye flashes. We halt. An urban caterpillar, suddenly, pinched, picked, still alive cars, scooters, bus, wriggling wangling, caught in its hungry gray beak. The wheels of the car ahead stop, an owl screeching scratching, on the hot tar road, clinging, clawing, a honk behind catches cold, coughing, cuffing. […]

Their Reposessions by Michael P Amram

There were cheesecake and petits fours, {The cakes I ate on a French ship when I was four} The streets were all empty and cell Phones were mute, and hand guns were kiln Down to make strings for lutes; A man in a homburg said “what’s your game,” whether I was on earth Waiting for […]
