Nostalgia in the moment
By Storm Heidinger
last night
nostalgia seized me
for something that hadnât happened yet
I realized that there was no term
Or at least,
None that I knew of
In this language
Nightdreaming in my head
I thought of the people that I know and love
And how they will leave me
Or I will leave them
In one way or another
And to save myself the loss
I say goodbye
Without them there to hear
I wrote a letter to a friend
Who hadnât left yet
And I wrote a story
About my dead dog
Who was still alive
And I imagine my own funeral
And surely, Iâm still here
My mother & my father & sister also have to die, sometime
I think itâs easier to prepare for sadness
When you take the time
To let the feelings and thoughts
Of that suffering
Occur before its time
Sadness split over many moments, in preparation
And if I had to choose a word
To define this
Nostalgia-in-the-moment-before-the-end
It would be
Sobriety and Relapse

Launching
By Bryce O'Tierney
           â on a painting by Paul Henry (that hangs at home in Alaska)
 Pushing the currach
Into the water is
The way to make
Your body;
On roan beaches
The sun poolsâ
Will you drop your gaze
Into your own                        reflection?
Today the sea is still
And slowly less near
To the shoreâwe follow
The tide out,
Wet sand sinking
Our feet and salt
In your mouth as
We shout Push
Into the water and
Out of your head.

Marked
 By Mahalia Sobhani
The swaying of the el gives us an excuse to lean into the curves of each other and Iâll pretend to need a nap on your shoulder a little more than I actually do.
The buzz of those stupid games on your phone is my alarm;
I will make eggs when we get home and you will insist on not eating them and I will pretend to be offended and she will eat them instead
And we all fall a little in love with each other.
The sound of her settling notebook pages like papercut wings is slicing up my eardrums, hyper aware;
the scratching of his pencils after two in the morning digs into my vital organs and I know what heâs writing; itâs on me and in me and
makes me believe that maybe you all have marked me
for good
(oh, I hope soâŚ)
Pay money we donât have for contraband somethings, give us an excuse to tell each other the truth:
That we all fall a little in love with each other,
every day,
with each of her progressively more unguarded laughs dropped like unexpected pearls
and every reassuring touch at the small of his back like a cup of tea you didnât have to ask for,
And we are marked,
somewhere,
for good.
I love you
By Joshua Coffey
 Nah, I don't That was just a wispy thought i had as i kissed you Standing in the rain Under the stars And in my basement It's funny that I thought about that ..right? Cause that's the kinda shit romantics do And i'm not like that (at all) I'm not scared to tell you how i feel In my selfish, veiled way I think you're cute and funny and nice And we're not dating Cause that's complicated And i definitely don't love you Although, I don't see anyone but you Even when I'm not actually seeing you Which is kinda funny Cause I didn't know it was possible For one girl to steal the beauty Of all the others
Maybe I do

Influence and Imitation, in On the Road, in My Life
by Storm Heidinger
When I read On the Road by Jack Kerouac, it hit me immediately â the mad poetic prose and the descriptions of places that seemed to move with the furious action of Sal and Dean as they drove across the country, back and forth, east and west. I wanted to be able to write like Kerouac, and I even dreamed of living on the road or bumming my way across the country. On the Road was about spirituality and the search for something, in places like jazz joints and in people like Dean, and the highs and lows of life.

baby do it for me
by Kelly Zhang
 baby love me like a bony model who has city habits split ends from too much
straightening
and bright pearly teeth even though her days are just
coffee to stay conscious speed to stay thin men to stay loose
baby love me like dipping your feet into big fountains
not just your toes because thatâs not enough and feeling mist graze your skin sometimes in the morning-afternoon-evening sunshine moonshine
baby love me like big movie stars with even bigger egos who like
elvis âcause itâs trendy and hot and heâs pretty good actually and bad neighborhoods because theyâre âdangerous and iâm dangerousâ because âpeople donât understand meâ
baby love me like tongues getting to know every groove in someone elseâs mouth and the silence
that settles between ripples on lakes
Vogue
by Jeff Bilik
don't you know that growing up fast is a luxury?
to avoid the dozens of future parallel yous that wear hooded lettermen or polished snake skin boots
that stand on highrise corners in clean heights and sharp angles
or just donât have bags under their eyes as deep as
you do.

HELICON: Winter 2014 Corrections
March 10, 2014 marks the first day of Helicon distribution for our Winter 2014 Issue. Â The magazine is gorgeous thanks to the efforts of the Helicon staff and all who contributed to the issue or submitted work. Â
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the time we had to design our last issue had been cut dramatically. Â Though we stayed up late trying to check and double check for mistakes, a few errors slipped past us. Â
APOLOGIES TO:
Nicole Zhu- Â Her fantastic piece, The Family Reunion, was easily one of the highest praised works by many on our staff. Â Though it is featured in full on our website, the length was too long to publish fully in print. Â We forgot to add a note stating its continuation online and apologize that there is no suggestion that the piece is incomplete in the magazine. Â
Paige Park- A misprint resulted in one of our wonderful staff members printed with the name "Paige Prk" rather than "Paige Park"
The Office of Residential Academic Initiatives- Having been uninformed of a change in structure within the offices supporting us, we were unaware that "the Office of Residential Colleges" is now "The Office of Residential Academic Initiatives." Â We would like to thank you all for the incredible support you offer to our magazine. Â Thank you to Brad Zakarin, Nancy Anderson, Mary Dworak and all else who have helped with the issue.Â
Elzbieta Foeller-Pituch- Our fantastic Faculty Adviser should also be recognized as the Chapin RC Faculty Fellow and Assistant Director to the Nicholas D. Chabraja Center for Historical Studies (CCHS). Â
Susan Lee- As the Master of Chapin, Susan Lee has helped continue the strong link between Helicon and Chapin. Â Having started within the Residential College, Helicon will always be tied to the building and its residents. Â We honor this relationship with meetings, open mics and other small workshops in Chapin. Â
