Kill the Moonlight

Mary Lou

Our fathers,

Last lovers

Of the moon.

 

Follow me

Inside

My voids,

Black holes

On canvas;

Empty dots

On a blank

Paper.

 

It’s dark

In the cave,

It’s so dark.

Please

Forgive me,

It’s so dark

In this cave.

 

Watch me fade

In the pale,

Evanescent

Night.

 

We’ll kill

The moonlight.

Editors for Kill the Moonlight not yet setup.

New Beginnings is our third and final volume of 2020. It is also our longest yet, with close to 100 pieces having been sent in for review from over 80 writers. Additionally, this volume marks a step towards making our initiative even more inclusive, having opened submissions for art and photography, too.

2021 may not be the new beginning for which we are all hoping. In fact, it is likely that the world will stay largely the same. However, that doesn’t stop us doing what we can to make it a little better. In supporting and being involved in an initiative whose primary motivation is to build one another up, our team and readership have certainly proven to be committed to making positive change already.
