“At least
I’ve managed, kept my weathers quiet
in a nowhere only I have mapped
where mind is both the shelter & the storm.”
Excerpt from @Emmabo’s “Tornado Weather” from our Fall 2024 collection of Online Exclusives.

"Listen. I’m the graveside girl trying to pretty up
a picture of my gone one’s forever, plucking
the strings that tie together roses, carnations,
pizzicato white, white."
