Now gasping, burning Blight so bright Surroundings churning Skull of stone Forever turning My insides flip, And still I'm yearning To live #emoetry #poetry #tormented

It's said Human greed Is infinite That the meaning Of resistance Is the calling Of fools But the power Of the collective Is not beyond Comprehending We aren't dealing With Epics Like edges of space Or Gods above We are dealing With groups Whose only power Is the belief Of others In power itself

The world moves on Through the day to day Flush Regardless of the pain Each migraine Still a plus So easy to forget My suffering is still life And life, Life is worth living. And even at my worst I can still make art.

I am still alive, though still unwell, I'll be having my gallbladder removed by the end of the month. Hopefully I'll start feeling like myself again after that.

Our Clock Winds Down In the view of a world Seen upside down Why do we not fear our cage? If my work is to sell My self-built shell What can I have left but rage? To toil and till These fields that we fill Yet nothing is left but our name. #poetry

Fight for what's right
Fight for your needs
Show off your might
And your valiant steeds
But remember your name
And keep your feelings restrained
No one benefits from shit-slinging

Only fools fight over skin deep trauma
Scratching and bleeding
Themselves and each other
Until what's left can't even recall
The picturesque beauty
Of their meat

Voice in my head Sounds just like mine Convinced these walls Are my own design. Said I could live Without a care Still walk through halls With a distant stare. Patterns build A rising fear That what was far Is always near Another quilt To hide beneath Thoughts in tar So I never see- #poetry

Irreducibly Human To be human is to be you Within the solipsistic mind No matter the scars The missing bits And the unending agony of surviving incomplete The humanity remains. If we must, truly, clamp the definition, To be human is to wake #poetry

Persist, preserve, predict, persuade. Through fear, through violence, through doubt, through ignorance. Without, without, without, without. #poetry

The fog rolls in As the kaleidoscope screams The third creature today To try to find its name. With warping flesh On tired stone We wriggle free Of binding bone The stars gaze in Our seams gaze out As statues stagnate In the between #poetry

I used to see the world
As perfected operation
Such beautiful ideals
And complex execution

But then I learned of money
Like pulling whales ashore
Such a vile aspiration
How could I possibly adore
A world built to hoard

To tear itself apart
Fillings ever richer
That ever greedy heart
Delicious, to the victor.

Death Isn't Mundane Renowned as progress This endless race As a thousand clocks Will watch your face Value given Is mechanical praise And power held By a man who plays With the lives of many A death of overwork Is a horror most foul The body is a temple Not your shareholder's trowel. #poetry

Digital babies reap the field of lives As politicians spread their happiest lies What use is our flesh in mechanical eyes? Are our wars still so coarse that we'd kill for a prize? I pray for a world where no robot needs be traumatized Yet the gods we build will still carry our wounds. #poetry

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone for how incredibly supportive you've been!! 💖 I'm excited to finally be able to release this chapbook I put together as a gift to you. A thank you gift to the #poetrycommunity, all the poets and prompters. Please read alt text for more info.
Cassiopeia: The Anthology Chapbook, Jan-Dec 2025, with calligraphic "Thank you" across a diamond painting of a galaxy in blues, purples, and greens. 

This picture comes from a diamond painting I made hanging on my wall. It reminds me of the piece I wrote on pointilism, how each little dot comes together to create a grander piece of art. Symbolically, I see each of us as one of those beautiful little dots. Each of us unique among our differences and similarities, yet when we all come together to stand for something we believe in, we help create something that will outlive us. Quite literally on this piece, given that diamond paintings are made from plastic. But here we are, instead of infecting water systems, we announce what we believe in by showing it up on a wall as poets, artists, creators, and witnesses to the world around us. 

I know that my Cassiopeia project is way too long for everyone to read fully. I was okay with that because I still wanted to give myself permission to be as prolific with my poems as I wanted to. Historically women have been deprived of education, freedom of speech, and publication. So with this project I wanted to give myself permission, and thereby extend it to everyone else who has ever felt silenced, to be as grand as I wanted to be.

But I also knew I wanted to put together a chapbook that's shorter and designed for the people who inspired me so much over the course of creating this ambitious project. So this chapbook is a gift to you, the one or two people who are reading this alt text lmao. I hope you enjoy <3

Dissociating Disassociating every thought From each new pain And reasoned fear. I know it's not enough There's so much more Than what we hear But it'll never be enough And all I can do In the end Is remember how to steer. #poetry

We have checked for wrongdoing
As the idiots required
What did they think we would find
Such a ridiculous choir

We are the greatest alive
Totality's power
They threatened our pride
With the crime of the hour

So bring out your pamphlets
And call for a Change
We've bought every judge
To keep you wrapped up in chains

Title: Naming the Universe

The mind, in truth, embodies lies.
When posted so, it's no surprise
But what, indeed, embodies mind?
That noble keep, the hidden prize
Of knowledge, ever, held so deep.
Tell now a truth of empty skies.
These emptied, emptied, empty skies
Tell so much of what we hide
I'd even say, so deep inside
Reflects a soul of universal size

Suck. Down. Every last gasp. Of. Air.
Keep Pulling
Even when you feel your lungs start to tear
Survival isn't fair.

I feel the strands of fire burning
Burning hot as coal
Every single breath a furnace
Furnishing my soul

Swirling motes that fill the air
Ash and dust, the body's rust
Remember that the world won't care
About us shells on crust.

Happy New Year!! I'm very excited to announce that the Aliases ezine is now available! This beautiful zine is full of old poems and things I recovered from deletion to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of my Aliases collection. Hope it inspires! 💖 #writersky #poetry ko-fi.com/s/2c776bb9c6

Numbers are numbers And meaning is meaning Will the meaning not slumber As I number my keening? Embedded in singing One song for my fame I do not ask for the seeming Imposter's reframe Nor the fostering build Of the quarterly host And the goldeny child As he who posts most (updated) #poetry

#SocialCredit #poetry @karmicmishap.bsky.social there's so much more to say on this one but this is what my mind is set with rn 😭
Social credit and red scares
when Tiktokers refuged to RedNote
and Americans started learning Mandarin
when AI ticked back up in businesses
and referenced surveillance regimes
governments set on separating
lest we agree on similarities
fears of calculated monitoring
when the IRS knows exactly how
much you owe in taxes but makes
you figure it out so they can
use it to pedal weapons
