Symphony

typesetjez, a poem by August

sing to me a Christmas song,
your voice wrapping around
me like the most comfortable
pajamas. maybe you’ll always
have to think too much, but
one of these days, you’ll
never have to worry if
your heart is safe this time.

jiggly

mls-classics, a poem by August

grief, you
granted me

I’m on a call for a meeting to discuss a meeting later this month and, lo and behold, they’re talking about: how to make meetings efficient. FOR TWO HOURS

it is reeeeaaally weird how deeply important people who had previously exited my life are re-entering it, in (only slightly) different bodies, and different sets of qualities, but the same cores. the same souls. I’m repeating myself.

go to my ask and give me a word and I’ll write an acrostic poem about you using that word
