Below is an excerpt from a poem by ESH Leighton in Issue II: hermes (the kaleidoscope)
Antilullaby by ESH Leighton
How do I go to sleep
When I did not put the world back together again,
did not tuck in the snowy owls or
say goodnight to the weeping volcanos
When I am just an amalgam of a human
bits of flotsam and jetsam, flora and fauna
bound in a skin sack destined for dirt
How do I rest
when there is so much work yet to be done
