KN Magazine: Poetry
Neighbor
In “Neighbor,” Michael Taylor paints a haunting, atmospheric portrait of a late-night encounter suspended between reality and perception. Through vivid, unsettling imagery and a tone of quiet unease, the poem explores fear, identity, and the possibility that what we glimpse in the darkness may be a reflection of ourselves.
FRANKLIN, ALONE?
In “Franklin, Alone?” John Grey crafts a haunting meditation on identity, memory, and isolation. Through surreal imagery—frost that deceives, an owl singing backward, and a hare leaving no trace—the poem explores the fragile line between reality and forgetting. As the speaker questions whether the name “Franklin” belongs to him or merely to the room around him, the poem drifts into a quiet psychological mystery about the erosion of self.
THE DIMMER GLOW
A twilight meditation where landscape, memory, and unease converge. “The Dimmer Glow” moves through dusk and darkness, blurring the line between what is seen and what is remembered, as the mind turns inward and finds meaning not in brilliance, but in the quiet pull of fading light.
