On quiet nights we'd ever think

From dust of stars on earth we sink

The tears of Mars in our veins flow

And Saturn's rings in our eyes glow

We become one with the sky

And lose ourselves in senseless time

Once the moon shows us its stains

Old dark scars of silenced pain

We are made of great celeste

Our bodies fade when put to rest

Drown in darkness of the space

On dimming stars forever lay

Our first-ever Bluestockings magazine issue, A Thread Unraveled, is coming soon. Through poetry, prose, essays, photography, visual art, and everything in between, we’re exploring the threads that shape us: the people we meet, the stories we inherit, the paths we lose and find, and the experiences that transform us. Stay close. The first thread is about to unravel.
