so it’s summer, so it’s suicide, so we’re helpless in sleep and struggling at the bottom of the pool.

"im staring into a hole, holes, a canvas, a cryptid and a rodent, a doll and an automaton. the fetus of an angel. a pubescent peeling pupa of prionic psychosis. a weed in the concrete, photosynthesis makes pangs for the soul."
Submitted my story, Trash Angel, to the Yuri Game Jam! it's about star-crossed love and a desperation to save the only angel you have left. I've never done anything public like this before, i hope y'all enjoy it <3
Check it out here!

Dust
by Dorianne Laux
Someone spoke to me last night, told me the truth. Just a few words, but I recognized it. I knew I should make myself get up, write it down, but it was late, and I was exhausted from working all day in the garden, moving rocks. Now, I remember only the flavor — not like food, sweet or sharp. More like a fine powder, like dust. And I wasn’t elated or frightened, but simply rapt, aware. That’s how it is sometimes — God comes to your window, all bright light and black wings, and you’re just too tired to open it.
