डर लगता है

written by: Atul Shagird

@shagird6

ज़हन में सवालों से डर लगता है
तेरे दूर जाने के खयालों से डर लगता है
तेरी आंखों कि कैद का सबब मुझ से पूछ
तेरे उलझे हुए बालों से डर लगता है
एक मखमली जूती बनवाने का इरादा है
तेरे पांव में पड़े छालों से डर लगता है
आखिरी सांस तक तेरा होने की हसरत है
इन किस्से कहानियों की मिसालों से डर लगता है

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
