I looked at my mother because I was a version of my mother. I looked away from my mother because I was a version of my mother. I was me, but I was also her—my mother, and I understood this all too well.

— Nora Lange, "Dog Star", pub. The Rupture (#120)

shoutout to the people who for the longest time didn’t see a future and thought their lives would be over by now. you made it. you’re still going. i know it’s hard building a future you weren’t prepared for, but i believe in you. you’re a survivor.

A note to all the poets:

Don't bury yourself in poems, drying ink is not a coffin lid closing.

You are here, you are here.

Take a deep breathe and stop planning the funeral that isn't meant to happen yet.
