2020 has been a year of immense change and upheaval thus far, with our idea around what is normal challenged in the midst of a pandemic. In this midst of these volatile times, our team at Margins Magazine has come together to create Volume 3 Issue 1 of our publication, revolving around the theme of CHANGE. In this issue, our writers have worked hard to bring you pieces that critically discuss the realities of the current moment from advocacy effort across different fields to issues such as domestic violence and colourist. At #UTSC, we connect with Radio FWD and UTERN at UTSC to learn how campus groups are affected during the pandemic and how they are evolving their programming while staying connected with students. We’ve received amazing creative submissions from members of our local community and around the world that have allowed us to curate this issue with stories that truly represent the heart, soul, and pulse of the current times. Bringing together all these voices in Margins has been a true labour of love. We truly hope that the stories, words, and art within Margins resonate with you.

MARGINS<br />

The Well<br />

By Nadya Ibrahim<br />

Twinkle<br />

By Nadya Ibrahim<br />

I dropped a bucket into the well<br />

And waited<br />

There wasn’t a sound<br />

So I peeked into the darkness<br />

And I couldn’t look away<br />

I was in a trance<br />

The abyss attracted me<br />

Pulled me in so close<br />

I almost fell in<br />

Looking away was impossible<br />

The darkness was pulling me<br />

Little star shining so bright in the sky,<br />

How many million years ago did you die?<br />

Your legacy lives on during the nights<br />

When you aren’t outshone by city lights<br />

Down<br />

Incapable of doing anything else<br />

Snap out of it<br />

Snap out of it<br />

I was screaming<br />

But there was no sound<br />

. . . . .<br />

Splash.<br />

There it was.<br />
