My best mistakes could hear me for what I was. Through a stereo, over a headrest, I was so seen, so possible.

We need to talk about this time of day—half dawn—when the ethereal is that gasp between defibrillator compressions.

Dear songbirds, the gold-sing-warm submission period for our fourth issue, grazioso, has come to an end.

When she was younger, my grandmother danced cour for a local ballet company.

I meant melody & strings, rhapsody & joy. Like wall barley, crumbling naked at a touch. An open sky.

I hear melancholy in it as well as contentment, but different listeners will hear different things.

Songs for the Grazioso Issue (a selection)

& of course, being Half Mystic, how could we share Issue IV without a playlist to get you in the mood for it?

I have stumbled into so many of the loves in my life.

Preorders are Open for Issue IV: Grazioso
