Omg, how full are you from our dinner party last month??? It looks like there must have been some cuties in attendance, because now 💔 hot people are in a situationship❤️‍🔥 Equal parts spicy, equal parts heartbreaking, we have three new poems for you (including our first video piece!!) featuring work submitted to our first open call.


She’s just not that into sex anymore 🙅🏽‍♀️ by Helen Lovett

But did you try...

Breathing gently into her mouth
After trapping her bottom lip
With no rush to remember
The rest of the room

Asking her about the sadness
In the way that she smiles
While her eyes drown
In a busy bar at midnight

Thinking that her mistaking
You wanting to snack on
‘McKrokets’ for ‘MicroCats’
Was the best thing you’d ever heard

Feeling her manicured nails
Sink into the back of your hands
While sliding your tongue
To her own beat in the dark

Explicitly telling her
That you don’t want her to serve you
When she offers you coffee
From the cafe down the road

Chasing her along the hall
As a groveling Gollum
While she high-pitch squeals
Because she’s your precious

About Helen (She/Her): I use poetry as an extension of therapy and as a way to delve into hot conversation topics that me and my friends have discussed. Womens' sexuality has come up many times and there seems to be a repetitive pattern; men thinking that their partners are just not that into sex any more… and women thinking they no longer have a sex drive until they become single again. It seems like, rather than a lack of libido, these women are often feeling unappreciated, unseen and unloved ~ and this has led to a lack of interest in sex with their partner 🤷‍♀️

Is he hot or is he just 😒 by Stephanie Felten

Fishing on our platform of revolution, trash in shades of blue 
The vertical power of a strong tree 
My body betrays me 
On second thought it is powerful and perseveres 
Raindrops fisheye my thoughts 
Trees with ancient underground networks extend for miles while dinosaurs swim in polluted waters 
Fishing on the platform of exploitation of nature 
The space for play is filled with waste 
That's why the baby scowls from their buggy 
The noise pollution of this aggressive corridor seeps into the green space
 
Is he hot or is he just…
     Running hard on the field 
     Running with a ridiculous form 
     Holding his pipe too close 
     Hanging on to two rottweilers 
     Cooking with a camping stove 
     Feeling the rain against his skin with the hopes 
     of feeling something, human, anything 
     Sculpting headless forms 
     Just a child 
     Just lost 
     Rolling by, a shell of his former self
     A part of the problem

We say dogs don't understand but what if they do 
What if they are just as traumatized as we are without a way to express it
Never too old for football 
Rest and play 
The park holds peace and violence 
Robbie move it move it 
Weeping willows whole 
No bowl cut 
Manicured lawns and grasses traded for fertilizer polluted waters 
Why do cars drive here 
A century of destruction 
Streets named for colonizers and owned by oil dynasties 
A black cat like Felix 
A lady said hello! 
My smile is so big 
I feel seen 
I feel heard 
Not abandoned like last week's trash on the curb 
Ultra processed foods and gold strappy sandals 
Is that anxiety or am I dying 
The mice run from this restaurant as the sun sets 
Is that ambulance working overtime for covid 
Do these people have enough to eat are they warm in the winter time 
Are there enough coffee shops to keep them all warm 
Is the watermelon still good 
Will the kid in the spiderman suit grow up to be a villain 
What are the words that are stuck in my throat, that I am not willing to write 
Exhausted after doing so little 
People are darting with no place to cross and cars that don't belong pollute our air and our ears. 

About Stephanie (She/her): I am inspired by my passion for people, the earth, and community to write, occasionally. My strong sense of empathy and justice, combined with intuition and ability to absorb complex details, drives me to use writing as a tool to advocate for important issues. This is one of my first attempts at poetry, as a new form of expression on these topics. Also, I answered this like it's a job interview and a biography is too hard. K thanks!
