Founded in the fall of 1991, Laurel Moon is Brandeis' oldest, national literary publication. Each issue we publish features original work from undergraduate students.
Indifferent to consequence from
all this liquor, her indecency
spilled into
his lips, his hips
his first mistake in
a list he figures
is inevitable
in an instance
such as this.

intoxicated still and sick she
brings finger to isthmus of skin
in between breast and breast
sicker still and pink she
imagines snippets of last night,
then wishes she didn’t
not equipped to exist
in a statistic
such as this.
