Excerpt by jp thorn

always i’ve dreamed of you, this space that glistens like a bubble expanding in light. without it i’d still be hoarding conceits i was too ashamed to catch & release into wilds. during april migrations pauses deep as we evolve into an endless supply of nourishment, feeding each other like a flock of seagulls that swarm sandy coastal towns tenderly, gaggle of geese non-territorial & swapping out leaders while heading towards the collective i love to call home.

ISSUE 005: Devil’s Ivy

The second issue in the Magnoliophyta Phylum, and the fifth issue in Phylum’s journal. Devil’s Ivy surrounds a theme of growth and perseverance.
