The Wailing Heart.

It gave her ears a deepening ache, it upset her head Unused to the trauma, drifted her thoughts elsewhere, for hours she read. It got to the point where the pain became as visible as an undisguised wart Hushed for so long, it was the sound of her wailing heart.   “Why the sudden lamenting?” …

Editorial April

One of the greatest paradoxes in human existence is the perception of change. One eagerly anticipates change with the wistful thinking of breaking the monotony, only to find one resisting the notion once it has occurred. Its anatomy is surreal. It creeps onto you when you least expect it. However, after a certain point the …
