Founded in the fall of 1991, Laurel Moon is Brandeis' oldest, national literary publication. Each issue we publish features original work from undergraduate students.
A corporal longing
In deep of blood
The body calls out,
To be dissolved
The melding into
The soils thick
A greater being
Amongst the many
Unmoved by their own,
solid wills
So that the movements
the passing winds
That pulls us together
Body to bark
Hair to leaf
Captured whole
In branches of
The open mind
Where any flesh
grows into air
Past our confines
Dense bones fade
Eyes touch the sun
The breath of the soul
is the hands of the wind
That pushes us along
