when richard siken said “what is a ghost? something dead that doesn’t know it’s dead” & emily brontë said “you say i killed you—haunt me, then” & emily dickinson said “one need not be a chamber to be haunted” & ocean vuong said “you can be nothing & still breathing. believe me”

my absolute FAVORITE trope EVER is fighting against someone for so long that when you finally fight together you are a perfect team because you know each other’s movements so intimately i am so sick listening to this

i haven’t checked twitter in a while, so here’s a late thank you to @backslashlit for publishing my first ever python poem! 🥳💗 this was my first dabble in creative coding, and i can’t wait to do it again!
"what am i if not ice?" by @ayqqii dips us into a wistful chill as the second piece in "ZIP / FREEZE / BUNDLE." Read this Python poem and watch it execute at https://t.co/zbKamqL5s9.

dec 2021 // 🖤 "snow child" @thehearthmag >> "I spoke and loved as easily as I breathed, and soon, my dragons could fly." gosh, i love this piece. i often get asked whether i like china or australia more, but both are home to me. https://t.co/GkWwR2HeWe

dec 2021 // 🖤 "flying" @thehearthmag >> "she wants to shed childhood like a skin, lets / time wear her wings as its own." i wrote this as a rather abstract exploration of what it felt like to grow up too quickly. https://t.co/GkWwR2HeWe

dec 2021 // 🖤 "death as an ode to a lover" @typeslash >> "death as the furnace that births the star of a new fate." a contemplation on what it means to say 'i love you to death', semi-inspired by romeo & juliet's "star-crossed" & "death-marked" love. https://t.co/2mLJdp5rn5

nov 2021 // 🖤 "worry & me" @theWEIGHTJ >> "someone give me a knife! / i want to carve out its shape, / coerce it out of my skin." my first pub! i wrote this about the cycle of binge-eating and self-loathing that comes whenever i worry too much. https://t.co/hRmlpCZ0OZ
