We at Flight, the only literary magazine, value free speech. That's why both editors have fired each other over insensitive remarks made in the family group chat.

that is not how anything grows - Andrea Gibson
On days I have a hard time keeping warm

No, that is not how anything grows.

as I mean to go on: more writing more reading more self time that isn’t screen time or me time that isn’t scream time more baths? (I don’t know if I like baths) more movement: any kind, all the kinds more kind words floating through my brain more vegetables for good measure.

Ada Limón for this dark December morning
Body of Rivers

The river comes to the body bold,
dreaming of black hues and a gestured 
cluster of colored fish. This is the way
the world runs through us, its instruments of moon-
water and hangnails of hope. River, river,
listen, I understand the urgency. I am
floodwater running; I am dirt ditch rising. 
A constant glutton for the outpouring pond,
I am trying desperately to return to gone.
