Augustus

I worship you on a golden altar of daylight, knees sinking into sand where I sit in supplication, flaunting you unabashedly with my flushed cheeks and freckled chest, wearing you like a cross. You spoil me seductively, appeasing my appetites with your alms of apricots and aperol, arousing my desire with the amorous caress of […]

Labels

An obnoxious yellow tag stands out on my black bathing suit, The neon color disgusting me when I discover it; My nails dig into the dirty label, Trying but failing to rip it off, As it stubbornly sticks to the dark suit. Finally, I shed this label, Yet I still feel the judging stares of […]

The End of April: An Ode to Senior Year 

AJ Worsley ’22    The end of April feels a lot like the end of the world when you’re in your final year of college. It’s not long until the student discounts fade away. Spotify returns to ten dollars a month. Unidays gets deleted from my phone. Netflix is…still raising their prices with no signs […]

Skateboard

Sarah McLaughlin ’23   I see it when I’m on the final set of stairs leading up to my building. It’s behind a bush, obviously intended as a hiding place, but the bush is thin and wiry with hardly any leaves, and there’s a yellow spotlight on the ground behind it, covered by a bit […]
