https://t.co/7PqEyGK7xP Reader, I’ve sold you my story. I am what you think
|
wrongly, half-beast, half-boy, too weak to carry
|
your pastoral flag, your mule-ride, cash strapped
|
belly-side.

https://t.co/SHlvFM6Ojp Did the animals hiding in their holes see how unafraid I was?
|
Holding the severed heads of weeds in my fists,
|
I imagined their seeds breaking through the soil

https://t.co/P2GZpnnAvb Our youth pastor told me that unlike so many
|
other children, I was one of the lucky ones––
|
at least one of my parents loved me enough to stay.

|
was knighted my name as a foal without a sex
|
by a father who chartered a flight in ’81 to 미국,
|
beautiful land, to marry eyes as blue and distant
|
as the Pacific.

When I got in, agents herded “everyone” to get in this same one line but TSA precheck checkpoint is still somewhat okay #AWP23 @bardsbesidebars @tiananob @freedewi @jezzbah @marianneLchan Wish you were here!❤️🥺 #AWP2023 TODAY! 12:10 p.m. PST, Terrace Suite II, Summit Bldg, Level 4

(graphic by our fearless organizer Marianne!) https://t.co/Aq05bNHZXk @daybreakjung it's called 詩篇 for a reason, right?! Your mother loves you in the third person. Mom is home. Mom is calling you. Where are you? Mom is worry. She is third. There is no first. There is only you.

This is a poem about a fire that should have happened.
|
You will remember thinking to yourself that you cannot stay in your body.

Maybe our timeline is broken.

https://t.co/g1xtHajmEr “Polyptoton” means repetition of words derived from the same root.
|
Some of us have no roots.
|
Here is an example of polyptoton: “The refugee was lost in a fugue state.”

https://t.co/g1xtHajmEr @seoyoung_chu @aaww Seo-Young, thank you so much for your trust, and the honor of reading & sharing your work!!! ❤️🔥 The fire in this poem, I assure you, is purely figurative.
|
In this poem, I turn his book to ash.
|
This is a poem that was written by the fire.
|
I am the fire that wrote the poem you’re reading.

He spoke to me with tendrils of rot, the grip of the grave
|
stilling his speech, so I had no idea what he did at Sungei Road.
