A new periodical of art and literature

A watercolor painting of a city street on a rainy day, with tall buildings, cars, and people using umbrellas, featuring reflections on the wet pavement.

Her clothes were soaking wet.
She stood in the doorway, rigid,
listening to the rain.
Listening for something.

She should have found a towel,
dried her hair and
put on a robe.
These little things matter.
If she had just done that one thing,
everything would be different now.
It just didn’t seem that simple
at the time.
