I had another post scheduled for today. It was a book review, and it would have been easier to do nothing and let it get posted. I’ll probably still post it, at some point, but it wasn’t right for today. Not when my life feels like it’s spinning out of control. Not when my heart […]
Read MoreHello, my voyagers. I’ve loved writing the “types of girls” poems too much to stop, so I wrote another one. This is based on the seven members of BTS: Jin, Namjoon, Suga, Jhope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook. I wanted to take their characteristics and imagine them as seven different kinds of ARMY (that’s what BTS […]
Read Morethe world that once spilled with amber flecks and the sky that used to drip with purple lava are finally, finally calm. there are no more sunsets. only the swirl of stardust that settles around the edge of the universe. but the moon survived. her surface is scarred with deep cuts and jagged cliffs. each […]
Read MoreBack in August of 2019 I posted a poem that was based on a “types of girls” post on Pinterest.

The year before that I reacted to your assumptions about me. As you can tell by the title, this year I’ll be reacting to my […]
Read Morethe world is on fire― kindled lava spilling over the edge. the amber flecks and onyx dust of last year glimmer faint. i yearn to watch sunsets fall along the burnt, charcoal horizons. but tonight, today, the vast sky remains void. where once rose a pale moon of starless wonder, there is only fire. crimson […]
Read MoreHello, my friends. I know the world is full of chaos and madness and craziness right now with the coronavirus. Multiple cities and countries have gone under lockdown/quarantine and I want to start this post by saying that I am safe and doing well. My family is okay and we are praying for everyone who’s […]
Read Morethe sky is on fire, dripping purple lava: amber flecks onyx dust. sunsets fall along charcoal horizons― outlines, sketched skies. my pale moon rises, infinity times the night― a starless void of mental emotion. the sky is on fire, burning crimson and embers of the end. dark evening waters extinguish their threats; their bloodshot battle […]
