Zori had no idea what she was getting herself into when she stole an extra roll at dinner:
The Library, or Back to Before
I want to go to the
Library,
The one that exists only
In my mind
When I was a child
And couldn’t read
Reviews in my hand,
When I had to rely
On my mom to drive,
And I'd wander, until
I found something
That struck me.
I want to return
To a time I was still finding
How to feel,
Before I understood
How I am supposed to think.
The freedom in
Not knowing,
In nothing
Expected.
I yearn for my wonder,
The joy in simple things
Before I learned
How much can be taken
So quickly.
That thrill
Of discovery.
I don’t want to know
The pain of grief, of loss,
I pine for the naïvete
Of before she was
Gone.
I miss the me
Before I knew
What I was capable of
And what I was not.
Take me back
To possibilities
Before life and death
Crushed everything.
Me whilst writing: This is a masterpiece…I am a literary genius
Me whilst editing my writing: I am an abomination to the writing community
I was hoping to have this be a new print to sell at AZCAF last week…but then I had to go and catch COVID.
Anyway, enjoy the latest designs for Archanger, Jillian Akimoto and her alter-ego, Cutie Mask!

The road
Was all we could see
For a few feet, only
As we passed through Enchantment,
And only our imaginations
Could dream
What was hidden in
That Fog;
Were there eyes
Watching us pass?
Were there secrets
We were never meant to know?
On we traveled
And the haze parted
We made it home...
Though maybe
Just barely?
