Dear Gutter Readers, I hope you’re having a safe and healthy end of year, because what a year it has been.

Through all of looked forward and binding it of strangeness

your

the anguish and exhaust, one thing I to was seeing your work every month together in this wonderful vessel that is and will always be Gutter Mag.

I have hoped that it could be one small thing that could bring our community together despite most of us, including myself, working remotely. That this small gesture could be something for people to look forward to and enjoy consuming. Though we are apart, seeing your continued support of this magazine has been one of the highlights of my semester.

The next couple months may be the most exhausting yet for a variety of reasons, but we should know that it will be temporary as we continue to persist.

Stay safe, Bailey Hummel (they/them) Editor of Gutter Mag xoxo

Diagram of a Heart Pumping Blood We decorate each other with flowers Allow salty air to perfume our hair And daydream of a bed that can be ours Wide eyes hide under wild frizz, gentle stare Crude, golden rays drench my face: flawed and fair With my spoiled cheek a wet tongue collides So my tainted bits I am free to bare A warmth in my belly as fear subsides Vibrating laughter, tickling insides Messaging pearls out of oyster flesh Hushed words flushing out bitter, brackish tides When our toes interlock and fingers mesh Embellished skin only I can kiss When my lips meet theirs: momentary bliss
