- the poems
These poems are short, quiet, and emotionally present — sometimes still, sometimes ruptured. They're not made to perform. They're written to hold what's real.
Some arrive like a breath.
Others like a break.
But each one is a moment — felt fully, then released.
"I don't usually like poems, but Spring 2025 really touched me. It felt like listening to a Linkin Park album — fragmented, emotional, and beautiful."
— early reader (june 2025)
