we live in an immaterial world, a ghost world, and I am an immaterial girl, a ghost.

OUT NOW!

[Kaylyssa @kaylyssa]

My short story “Almost like a Penance” is out in Propagule Magazine today! It’s about love & philosophy 101. It has been many eons since I wrote a non-poem thing, so I’m especially grateful to the editors at Propagule for giving this one a suitably strange n moody home 🤍

@ThornLitMag Outside the boulangerie there you are,
as small and slippery as a fish.
In my arms a baguette sways and crashes,
a ship sinking in the ocean
between us.
As we speak I fold my newspaper
into the shape of a hat.
I know it will be the last time.
I see it written in the sky.
