of spider-silk fog beaded with dewdrops’

when you're sick all the time, people get tired of hearing about it. you want to communicate that you're in pain, to get a scrap of care/support, & you're met with annoyance. haven't we been through this? what can we do? nothing. but my body is failing me and i can't not cry out
this windy morning brought the first edition of @dietmilkmag to my doorstep, and it is even more wonderful in person 🖤🌹 you can read my poem 'twilight sleep' within its pages, or on their website's 'from the vault' selection!
@dietmilkmag i'm quite relieved, usually the customs office makes a fuss but no issues this time! and it also survived the rain while sitting in my mailbox mostly unscathed ♡
@KayWCS@madrigalpress if you have empress 1908 gin, it's easy! i don't, so i added a tiny amt of concentrated butterfly pea flower tea. it'd be more proper if i'd made simple syrup with it instead, but no time for that right before the event! ☺️ the colour changes when adding lime / tonic water
fixed myself a colour-changing G&T for the release party of @madrigalpress ! it was so lovely meeting you all, i'm floored by the talent showcased in this issue 🌸
"riverbed aubade" out now with @madrigalpress 🌿 please check out this wonderful anniversary volume, it's bursting with cover-to-cover poetic magic!

second poem by me in @ZeroReadersMag ! fun fact: the title comes from how i can tell summer is ending by the increase in the number of spiders appearing in my home. i'm terrified of them but trying to work on more positive associations... same with my fear of endings 🕸️🕷️
super stoked to have my fave poem i've written to date in this issue! i've wanted to see my writing in the pages of @madrigalpress since i first discovered the publication, so this is really exciting 🌟
'poesis' will be going live on our website tomorrow afternoon, and features work from 42 outstanding poets on themes of love, loss, grief, history, and continuity. it is an absolutely stand-out issue, and we are so excited to share it with you.
