the feral amnesia Dionne Brand, XV, thirsty

×V
All the hope gone hard. That is a city.
The blind houses, the cramped dirt, the broken air, the sweet ugliness, the blissful and tortured flowers, the misguided clothing, the bricked lies the steel lies, all the lies seeping from flesh falling in rain and snow, the weeping buses, the plastic throats, the perfumed garbage, the needled sky, the smogged oxygen, the deathly clerical gentlemen cleaning their fingernails at the stock exchange, the dingy hearts in the newsrooms, that is a city, the feral amnesia of us all

night walk, with 16 mice and the moon by Mia Nakaji Monnier

poem in the summer issue of @thimblelitmag.bsky.social --

The Forest of a Million Trees Goes Quiet as We Walk

Our presence here silences
the sounds we came to hear.
Chases the animals
we set out to join
in our shared hunger.
What we thought the moon
is not the moon.
Our first night together;
already the end of us
written in spaces we don’t know
how to fill: emptiness
where birdsong should be.

DAWN

Dawn
is a little animal
that comes in noiselessly.

It’s so tiny
it slips under the door.

Iced Coffee
The grief counselor counts the mangled eyes.
The daughter slips attention.
There is no evidence of escape. Everyone is crying. I forget your name and start to speak heartbeat.

When my mom was dying a grief counselor came to our house with a big thing of iced coffee that she drank noisily and dripped everywhere and that is pretty disqualifying I think

The mid-autumn festival is this week, so it’s the perfect time to get a copy of my mini-chapbook, full of tiny poems inspired by Chinese folklore www.tinywrenlit.com/product-page...

Cover of chapbook The Moon, My Heart
poems by Elena Zhang, the cover is the moon with pink blossoms in the foreground

The Moon, My Heart
In this story, Chang'e opens her mouth and I eat the egg inside.
Yolk sun in white moon.
I finally understand what Teresa Teng meant when she sang the moon represents my heart.
She meant immortal mothers and birthday gifts, and the starlit waning of time.
