Windward Review Vol. 20 (2022): Beginnings and Endings
"Beginnings and Endings" (2022) challenged South Texas writers and beyond to narrate structures of beginnings and ends. What results is a collection of poetry, prose, hybrid writing, and photography that haunts, embraces, and consoles all the same. Similar to past WR volumes, this collection defies easy elaboration - it contains diverse tones, languages, colors, and creative spaces. Creative pieces within the text builds upon others, allowing polyvocal narratives to interlock and defy the logic of 'beginning-middle-end'. By the end of this collection, you will neither sense nor crave the finality that a typical text brings. Instead, you will be inspired to learn and create beyond a narrative linear structure. Your reading and support is sincerely appreciated.

Falling<br />
Falling, falling, in the air with all despair<br />
Falling, falling, into endless abyss<br />
With all that I miss.<br />
I have fallen into this deep sea that I can’t escape<br />
Falling, falling, all I wish is for all these nightmares to go away.<br />
The pain won’t go away no matter what I do, this pain is like a knife<br />
That cuts endlessly into my heart. Falling, falling, in the air<br />
We will be okay don’t you fear. We may be falling apart but we are art.<br />
Blind Sins<br />
Cool shadows blanked dead cities, falling, electric anthills, where love<br />
was murdered.<br />
Sometimes life is crazy like me, the ashes of loved ones are tethered.<br />
Is life like the sea or is it pulling the ambition to fortune.<br />
Breathe into nothingness, I lie awake on the cutting edge of time,<br />
falling endlessly like a mountain.<br />
We live in a world that someone else imagined.<br />
Sins of lust, sins of death, sins of hunger <strong>and</strong> prosperity of greed.<br />
Humanity is becoming eroded into sins.<br />
