Summer Soon By Cassandra Kulay
Somewhere soon is summer soon. I wish I was at the beach playing in the waves or walking barefoot.

Clockwork By Brittney Fox
She, who cries in the night, has her eyes dried by dawn. Sun rays seep through thin shades onto her sheets. She blames her red swollen eyes on little sleep.
