I've been staring at this journal for about 30 minutes now. Since my pops left for work and I haven't written anything till now but I just have to say thank you so very much to SingingFlames for featuring my piece. I'm humbled to the point of near-speechlessness. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you so much. Truly. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely appreciate the feature-- especially on a piece that means so much to me. I'm beyond glad it was something that I wrote for Lissomer 'cause she's like, the best friend any human being could ever ask for ever so that's pretty cool (Understatement of the year for comedic relief I suppose.). I love you, Sophia. So much. 

Thank you for everyone who's supported my writing, whether it was from day one, or if day one started today. Thank you. I love you guys. I really, really love you guys.

And if you're not familiar with it; here's the piece:
but i hold my hands out, ad infinitumpolysemous kneels and jaded,
i curl ambiguity against
the collapsing walls of
ambigram.
letters folded into wings
and gone again.
(maybe they're fluttering,
gliding, soaring, drifting (away))
i cannot fly and
nor can you.
and my voice is clawed
into the branch where i was born
and i am not st. vincent;
i cannot birth in reverse.
no matter how much
i try to carve the words
out from my jawed
insides
out.
but this love and sadness
is baroque, climactic
and dramatic.
i look for you
in the attic of my mouth
and the basement of my hands--
i hear you in the corner
of this dystopian (uni)verse
and know better than to reach
for you now,
the room will only fall in on us.


Thank you all so much.
