NEW MAGAZINE FEATURES:
“I fought those demons and won, or at least I thought I did.”
|
“The boiling war in my brain and they removed the lid.
That stench of darkness that never left, it was hiding deep inside. I tucked them away to forget, or at least I tried. A woman in my 40s yet I'm still that little girl, dancing in my homemade dress and gave a little twirl. Dancing took my mind off things and writing helps release. And just for those short moments, I brought myself some peace.” Read “The Battle” by Kristy Ward |

“a sea teeming with strange delights”
|
“They’ve given me iron to strengthen me,
if only it could forge us back together. I try to eat my way back to you, so much flesh and blood. I try to recover every dish you made me but I’m still hungry, surrounded by empty plates and the aroma of what was served. Waves of indigestion chase me out of a dream.” Read excerpts from Tourist by TAK Erzinger |
