The same moon
poem • • 2 min
does the moon look the same from the other side of the world? questions folded like paper boats and sent to someone far away — different windows, one light.
notes from a corner
i write because i have to, not because i want to connect. when thoughts pile up and won't stay quiet, they end up here.
if you read them, fine. if you don't, also fine.
from somewhere in the pile
Sometimes I wonder, does the moon look the same from the other side of the world? Is it a lantern in your winter, like a blossom half unfurled?

The Glass Between
poem • • 4 min
