Parting Gift: A Poem by L. Acadia
voices echo between emptying aisles
“If prose is a house, poetry is a man on fire running quite fast through it.”
—Anne Carson
Everything is fraught / with terror when one’s life is blessed / by saving.
All beautiful things conceal
their rough and hanging edges.
i thought long and hard, then thought some more,
about what? idk… sonnets…
I’ve seen other worlds in me, alternate histories
