anthology: the california poems

secrets from a girl who’s seen it all. summer of 2023.

“california” – all my desperation left me / after I fell in love and now I cannot write.

the other option is to try to conjure powerful emotions (but not feelings)” – he understands that you / write about what you have.

“dear stranger who came true” – now loneliness is no / god, it is history

“The shift in my reality was quite stark,” she says. “There was a lot of emotion.” – far away from the center of the earth I am / always drawn back

“the california poems cnt.” – i read / to completion but not to understanding

the unmakeable playlist for twenty-four – summer night in october, / and heat.
