Still Rise
by Leigh Yah

For months I've been trying to write
Trying to keep my pace, trying to fight
Organizing my words...it felt like suffering from a concussion
'Cause in scribbling I see no passion.

For weeks I've been trying to read
Fiction stories I love indeed
Thank you, Lori Brighton
I was able to explore the world in a new dimension.

Burden
by Pauline Grey

A text for her birthday, a text for mine
Long digital letters once every few months
To catch up on how we’re doing.
Wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
Who could guess that she’s the most important person in my life?
If I text her more, will she get tired of me?
Is she… already tired of me?

She says she’s excited to see me. But what if she’s not?
What if she just doesn’t want to hurt my feelings

Wanneer gezichten boekdelen vertellen
by Mario Odekerken

Er zijn momenten
waarop woorden te laat komen.
Waar stilte niet leeg is,
maar vol van betekenis.

Een frons die twijfelt,
ogen die iets zoeken
wat niet uitgesproken wil worden.

Een glimlach,

The seed of doubt
by Jesse Young

Don't put off today.
Could be the last hooray.

Don't over think,
Don't start to sink.

Don't sow the seed of doubt.
Don't let it sprout.

It will begin to shout!

Metamorphosis, interrupted
by Anjali Pathiyath

I sometimes dream I am a caterpillar
who forgets to grow into a butterfly.
I burrow into leaves, breaking through their delicate venation.
I funnel my uncinate feet through curling petals,
I glide through the pungent weeds of uncertainty
and hang from gossamer threads of doubt.

I sometimes dream I am a caterpillar
blending into the mossy greens growing on decaying walls,
lost in the intricate forest and counting the unseen stars,

When doubt becomes a reality
by Mario Odekerken

There is a moment
when the question no longer floats
but lands,
heavy and still,
on the floor between us.

What was once a flicker
becomes form-
a shadow that stands
where certainty used to breathe.

Wenn Zweifel Wirklichkeit wird
by Mario Odekerken

Es gibt einen Moment,
in dem die Frage nicht mehr schwebt,
sondern landet-
schwer und unbewegt
zwischen uns.

Was einst ein Flimmern war,
nimmt Gestalt an-
ein Schatten,
wo einst Gewissheit atmete.

Het duister hart van de zon
by Mario Odekerken

Het duister hart van de zon,
is een mysterie,verborgen in licht,
een plek waar schaduwen zich verbergen
en de hitte onzichtbaar brandt.
Het is geen zwart,geen wit,
maar een stilte die alles doordringt,
waar tijd zich in cirkels vouwt,
onvermijdelijk,vast in zijn eigen eeuwigheid.

De zon is geen vriend of vijand,

Your world
by Mario Odekerken

You say,
this is your world.
Neat,
manageable,
controllable.

I see you sitting
between lines and lists,
where every feeling
must have its place.
