Qualia
We can’t stop pushing the limits, and that is what will break us.
Look closely, this is magnificence.
Blood mixing with symbolism to paint a picture admired by all.
Where’s the fun in sobriety?
When you feel the sun creeping onto your skin, but you’re still lost in the haze of the night.
Willing yourself further into the darkness.
Your breath catching in your lungs—
That’s what makes living so entertaining.
Covering ourselves in blindfolds until we light the town to see ourselves.
It’s a sign of being far gone when your fingers leave trails of fire across my body.
This town won’t sleep at night, ru

The Top Reasons for Manuscript Rejection
One of the things that the literary agency I work for does some weekends out of the year is teach seminars on query writing and the first 5 pages of manuscripts (which, basically just means the first page of the manuscript). The seminars last only a day or two, but aim to help writers improve their queries and start of their books so that they have a better chance of standing out in the ever-growing slush pile. Since I know many members of the literature community here aim to one day be published writers, I thought I would share our sheet of the top reasons for manuscript rejections. Please note: These are in no particular order.

Transrealism was coined by writer, critic and mathematician Rudy Packer in his 1983 essay, “A Transrealist Manifesto,” as a description of a specific sort of science fiction that was emerging at that time.
This was the introduction of sci-fi elements into fictions that would otherwise be classified as literary realist.

butterflies.
I dreamt about your
hands again last night;
one sat politely on the edge
of my waist as you pulled
me tightly against you,
your fireside warmth
leaving me lightheaded
and breathless for more
of your tender touch--
I woke up with the bitter taste of regret
sitting on my tongue
but I brushed my teeth and started my day
hoping
that i’d forget the feeling of your fingers
on my skin but the butterflies
that you left
t r e m b l i n g
in the hollow spaces of
my belly stayed,
even as day turned to
night and I felt the tug of sleep

Sun in Sagittarius
your lips curl like Cupid’s Bow,
tongue like an arrowhead, sometimes
it would be easier if your aim weren’t
so true.
Moon in Cancer
shorelines make you cry more than
sad films, because every shore means
a parting, every shore means somewhere
else is calling, you will always be the one
who leaves first.
Ascendant in Leo
you love to make an entrance,
all grinning teeth and ivory claws,
sometimes it is okay to make a quiet
exit, when the world thinks itself a
lion-tamer, and find a different jungle
to call your kingdom.

The desert love.
Dry air, like a dense comb
running through my thick hair;
all is golden, orange, auburn - desert.
I live in the dunes, the craggy rocks
sand and pebbles, scraggy plant life
begging for some water and a break.
What parched earth, desperate for life:
what a lie!
When the sun starts to sink, she breathes
inhaling as if she were newborn.
Oh, I long for the ancient
