Founded in the fall of 1991, Laurel Moon is Brandeis' oldest, national literary publication. Each issue we publish features original work from undergraduate students.
Golden-brown leaves flicker between each gust
of biting winds that desecrate and rust
their sun-kissed skin and moonlit eyes,
tongues that melt those sugar-sweet lies.
Their brittle bones break with bittersweet cracks,
eyes falling shut as their bodies relax,
and everything’s gone, and everything’s cold.
The houses collapsed, the children were sold
to fanged shadows with cold eyes of tar,
who drink their tears, and watch from afar
As the outside flips right-side in,
the children grow sallow and thin,
our home is not home,
we are left to roam
the starving abyss within.
