VOICES FROM THE FIRE: Kushal Poddar
The Roadkill You already have arisen to the steady sobbing. “Do you think her son is still locked inside?” I step out.

VOICES FROM THE FIRE: John Tustin
MOPPING IN LITTLE CIRCLES I get bored easily and I don’t mind menial labor But to do the same task every day or to do one thing for an hour? In and out or up and down, the same few muscles working And the rest lax – I just can’t do it. Don’t ask meContinue reading “VOICES FROM THE FIRE: John Tustin”
