Friendship | Mónika Tóth

dedicated to my nice Romanian friend V.D.

our friendship
as tender as the rose
our friendship
pearls like
the dewdrops
our friendship
is more precious than the diamond

Poem Sun | Guna Moran

I cry inconsolably after reading a poem
I can’t stop myself from crying out
After penning a poem

The poems that I read
Under such pencil of light
It is a boon of a star
That expired a hundred years ago
A hundred years hence
Someone would read a poem in its light

Poetry means
An invisible river
Flowing inside the heart
That reads writes listens in solitude
That understands poetry

O Poet Sun
I can’t make out with my earthly eyes
The essence of poetry
Please bestow on me
The heavenly sight

Translated from Assamese by Bibekananda Choudhury

Dead Man's Dirge | J. Ash Gamble

I am a dead man’s
heart coming to a sputter
old rusty engine
I am the late summer
turning locust back crisp
ready to fall from a tree
I am time running out
on a scratched tuneless
record about to skip.
