I am alive btw! Just been working on a zine submission and a subsection of the site (site within a site, really) that doesn't get put in changelogs ;)

I continue to like prose poetry a bit too much (and interpret prompts sideways- it's working, though!). https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#break

I really appreciate the honesty and self-awareness of this piece, I especially like how you called back to your earlier poems. I love the imagery of the porch in the middle!

Something I've been doing with Muse pieces in general is callbacks! Usually via metaphors echoing forwards. I find it fun and it inspires me to find ways to connect them.

Finished this week's prompt- the timing of this one lined up a little too well with life events. It helped to write it down. https://owlsroost.xyz/muse.html#absence

beautifully written, and horribly gut-wrenching. your writing is always extremely impressive, and I can only wish you the absolute best for all the life you do get to live - thank you for choosing to spend a little bit of that time sharing your art with us, truly.

Thankfully, I get more than ten years to live if this diagnosis gets confirmed. I just won't be able to work or live independently for as long as I'd hoped for.

your writing is so beautiful and moving, and absolutely devastating. the hope that runs through it is so powerful despite how terrible the circumstances are. please keep that hope alive, and stay safe. thank you for sharing your writing! - j

The part where you're looking up at your body at thinking it isn't you yet it's still responsible for much of what you experience in life is very relatable and saddening to me as someone with chronic illnesses. Thanks for sharing and I hope you keep doing your best with the body you've got.
