The Sound of Sugar....Lucy Biederman


ALL OUR HITS ARE ACCIDENTS

The dead are dead—
we can do whatever we want.
At no station on earth do they stand
and wait. Have we crammed this barren land
to spite them? They might not recognize what they’d return to haunt,
they’ve missed so much.
Someone said they liked the color red
so we painted the station, the trains, the casually panicking bus.

We’ve loved reading the work that we’ve published (clearly), so now we want an opportunity to better hear our contributors.

This an open invitation to all contributors from any of our issues, we were delighted to print your work, now we’re eager to hear it.
