Black text on white background of the poem "Lament with Waning Crescent" by Amorak Huey, available to read at the link in the post.

"The patterns / of distance are well established between us. Is an unread poem / a kind of broken promise?"

Every time we see a new @amorak.bsky.social poem, we make sure to read it. Be sure to read his newest in the first issue of @swiftslitmag.bsky.social:

Black text on white background of the beginning of the poem “Dusk, Chackbay” included in full at the link in the post.

“The sky purpling over high / cane would be enough”

A part of the text linked to in this post: an image of handwritten text on cut out paper on a wooden desk with scissors and white paper both partially visible in the frame of the picture.

“The punctum is the camera - really an iPhone - and me, as I am now. Though my voice punctures the past at times.”
