shape&form. — a poem

shape&form. — a poem

at night my thoughts are large &
shadows wrestle for elbow room

or fold back into afternoon drawers
afraid the light might reveal thin &
dismantle their inconsistencies.

Fantastic fantasy with a sprinkling of sci-fi. Secrets around every corner that you’ll never see coming (in the good way). Rich world building with believable characters, spice, violence, and no place to get too comfortable because it all happens at ...more
