Wish!

Marelle Hipolito ’22 There is wet sand stuck in my wet hair.  There is wet sand stuck in my sweatshirt, and in between my toes,    but I don’t care. I’m busy looking up at the night sky with you, rooting for a shooting star.   Not many things have been going our way. Life […]

Tiff and Earl

Dear Tiff and Earl, I caught my crush and best friend making out in the broom closet at Black and White Ball this weekend. How do I emotionally recover? Insincerely,  Heartbroken :( Dear Heartbroken,  I must confess that your story, like a middle-aged man with Santa at the mall, does not sit right with me. […]

A World Drawn in Pencil

by Caitlin Bartley ’24 I like to imagine that the world was drawn in pencil, my body an illustration on a canvas. Just think of all the things I could fix, stretch marks on my thighs erased like crooked lines on geometry homework, coffee stains on my teeth erased like dirty smudges on clean parchment. […]

Help! It’s My Eye! It’s Gone!

by Max Gilman ’25 How do you fix a broken eye? There must be some way to mend the deteriorating oculi, In the time we live, there must be a way. There must be a way to fix my broken eye. Without an eye, it’s easy to spite and spit with no direction. With an […]

Songs the Lonely Sing

by Madison Palmieri ’22 They are the ruffled wings of a little bird in flight, The muffled songs the lonely sing as day turns to night. The gentle tides ebb and, in turn, flow, The crashing of the waves, with which their secrets go. They are the aches and pains, The jealousies and vanities, They […]

Cracks in the Walls 

Caitlin Bartley ’24   Nostalgia likes to creep through the cracks in the walls  And seep its way into my pores to suffocate me in my sleep.  The air becomes thick with memory, a stifling heat  That makes my mind hazy with hallucinations.  When it enters my bloodstream, I slip into oblivion  And dream of […]

  Max Gilman ’25   “We use our math to create cattle. Shape this way and that, but eventually your lines will be nothing more than a man with a rifle and you, the fawn child.”   Wonder if this windowed world holds something more,  Peer through the dying streetlight, a window through old construction […]

The Boardwalk

Toni Rendon ’24   The clack of her coal-black heels on the stone echoes through the empty street as the warm breeze passes through her bright blood-red sundress. Her dark, curly auburn hair glistens under the light of the streetlamps. The shadow she casts is her only company, forever growing and shrinking as she walks […]
