Today, I returned home to an environment painted with the orchestra of my mother’s screams- half
singing, half whimpering.
That is another way of saying my father has done it again.
She said “ how did your father’s hands which held gifts for me morph into a fist?”
That is to say, his fist no longer unravel gifts but spanks.
I mean every time I mirror my mother’s face,
It still hold a map of my father’s palm prints. And when she sings to the obeisance of my father’s fist,
my eyes vies with a cloudy sky.
Now I pretend I’m an artist
Yet I keep sketching images of a man
Letting his anger escape his fist to his wife.
That is a shorter way of saying, I barely imagine a peaceful union.

Poetry from Zuhra Ruzmetova

🌷🌷 Spring 🌷🌷 Welcome to our country Spreading good cheer Under the blue sky Looking at the blue sky. Birds sing They sing soft tunes Enchanting the hearts They indulge themselves. The party of nature Rich in beauty From green grass From the spring giving a sign. Looking at nature Taking a deep breath Spread fragrant smell Bringing light to the world. ✍️Ruzmetova Zuhra Ruzmetova Zuhra Vyacheslavovna November 30, 2006 I was born in the city of Urgench Khorezm region.

Short Story From Arthur Chertowsky
Eyes and Ears
My bad habit of not using my reading glasses and instead holding books a few inches from my face progressed to reading with just one eye while the other eye remained shut.
The shut eye can no longer focus on anything.
My reading eye experienced a torn cornea.
I started buying audiobooks. The first book I listened to was about the 1947 Roswell UFO incident. Decades of research went into the book, and it had a twelve hour listening time, but it took about twenty four hours to listen to it because I’d fall asleep and then have to spend a lot of time backtracking to pick up the narrative where it left off.
Aliens are real, the cover-up is huge, and I feel alone and afraid.
I developed otitis in both ears, a constant itch which, if memory serves, is caused by tiny living creatures setting up nests in your ears. The prescription eardrops foam up in the ear canal and temporarily quell the itching. My hearing has warped, maybe from using the drops, maybe from the nests of creatures who’ll never be conquered, who’ll never leave.
The second book I listened to was Liz Cheney’s “Oath and Honor.” I didn’t fall asleep much listening to Ms. Cheney’s first-hand account of people and events before, during and after the January 6th, 2021 insurrection.
People who love dictators are real, they are many, and they are everywhere. My warped hearing changed some of Ms. Cheney’s words, making funny phrases, but I understood enough.
Wanting to escape into another world, another time, another place, the third book I’m listening to is a non-fiction scientific exploration of Neanderthals, our much-maligned ancestral cousins. The book is advertised as taking sixteen hours to listen to, but the charming lady scientist author/narrator sets the scene for each chapter with a richly descriptive tableau of life hundreds of thousands of years ago, and that sends me off to dreamland, and then it’s back to backtracking, so I expect the book will take many days to read.
But am I reading? Reading with the eyes is work. Listening is also work. I’m reading.
Oh. I’ve developed tinnitus. My particular noise from this affliction sounds like a heartbeat listened to with a stethoscope. That drumbeat, and the itching, and the warping of words, might end my adventure with audiobooks.
The Neanderthals, though, I’d like to know how it ended for them, or, rather, how at least bits of themselves managed to survive.

Poetry by Maid Corbic

LOVE IS MY WEAPON My meaning of existence is happiness I give people only justice because love is too special for me in almond-colored eyes I know that I am a very special person because my love is very constant and the meaning of my existence is hope that I will never be alone My hope is the meaning of existence I want to give you love now because my love has limits when I set perm only msebi Love is my weapon the meaning of my existence and part of my reason for existence when the world stops i have you Maid Corbic from Tuzla, 23 years old.
