Featured poem from the Spring 2026 issue
Laundry, 1 a.m.
The dryer turns its one slow moonbehind the glass. I sit on the folding tableand wait for my sweaters to finish being warm.Somebody's phone lights the ceiling, then doesn't.Outside, the quad holds its breath of frost,the paths gone silver where nobody walked.
