🌙 Original Poetry: Full・Circle 〈歸・靈〉 🌙

goodbye  /  sorry i’ll coalesce, i’ll leave  /  if those are tears, of relief this world without trace or woe  /  of my weight off your shoulders as i embrace the light  /  as i dust the night behind my eyes  /  above your eyes?

A shortish, mirrored poem on family, death and returning souls, written for Jingzhe: Awakening of Insects // An arthropod Speedrun Zine hosted by @ensquare-events.

Read the full poem on AO3, or see below the cut for a simplified text version.

Full・Circle 〈歸・靈〉

[ part one : night ]

i do not fear the weight of sin only the voices i call dear gouge at me outside in

( calling me )

a waste of time and space that eats, shits, sleeps on repeat! old and stubborn as always!

( on last legs )

so try, then fail, to breathe in into this last meal i sink my chlorophyll coffin

( dissolve into )

a primordial soup, bowled by their resent, at my present till it becomes my whole

( this time )

goodbye let me sleep, let me slip into this silk duvet wove from the wisdom of my before goodbye i’ll coalesce, i’ll leave this world without trace or woe as i embrace the light behind my eyes

( because )

i love all of you my dear, dear, dearest children

because to me you’ve always been nothing short of a

miracle

~~~

[ part two: light ]

i do not fear the light of day only that there is no moon lest i forget the way

( i was )

but a quarter-moon’s worth of grasps, so desperate to my home of last birth

( on powdered wings )

i weave through the streets filaments past, present my guiding heartbeats

( descend upon )

a ring of faces behind doors in murmur, most familiar hang perfumed florals, or

( are you )

sorry for all you said, all you wished those times i was good as dead so you could get your lives in order? sorry if those are tears, of relief of my weight off your shoulders as i dust the night above your eyes?

( perhaps )

you have loved me too my dear, dear, dearest children

i hope to you my life and rebirth has made yours come full

circle

“The World Outside Your Window” A Juliana/Penny Fanfic

🌱 General Audiences

🌱 1.2k Words

🌱 Written for the @ensquare-events Jingzhe Zine!

Penny has never been an outdoor kinda person.

She'd much rather spend her free time cooped up in the comfort of her dorm room along with her Veevees. Still, when Juliana says she's got the perfect thing to get her out of her introverted cocoon, the bespectacled girl begrudgingly agrees.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hello every-nyan! ^^

I'm super happy to get to share this short fic I wrote for a fun speedrun zine all about BUGS! It's Jingzhe, which means “awakening of the hibernating insects” and is the third solar term of the Chinese calendar! 🐜

So of course I had to do POKÉMON—

Jingzhe: Awakening of Insects Free Zine Release

This​ multifandom/original zine, featuring 40+ pages of art and writing, is all about bugs! Jīngzhé means "awakening of the hibernating insects," and it's the third solar term in the traditional Chinese calendar. It signifies the coming of spring, as well as the return of the bugs that love hiding in the corners of your ceilings.

​This Jingzhe (March 5th, 2025), we hope to bring some of that spring warmth through an arthropod-themed zine full of the little critters that represent life on Earth.

Check it out here (read it as a two-page spread here) and be sure to support the artists and writers who were a part of this project :)
