Silk, Before the Severing

A shade nocturnal in the midnight court.

Obsidian chains making sinister music as the procession approaches from the rear.

After issuing countless condemnations, she grows bored.

Finally, her eyes gently close as she drifts into picturesque reverie.

Subsumed by the Mirror

The mirror is not good or bad, it’s simply neutral.

No harm in staying for bit, or being flattered by the reflection. But you don’t stay there. You don’t live in it and let it consume you.

Remember the difference between the puppet and the puppeteer.

Boundaries Intact

Self-coherence does not chase recognition.

It breeds boundaries that are assertive, without being hostile.

Differentiating between autonomy and aggression.

It holds. Quietly.

An Error in Seeing

If I could turn back the hands of time, I would place my energy where it most needed to be.

I wouldn’t waste so much time trying to seal the deal with a structure so flimsy.

But it’s okay, thank Goddess. I still have so much to grateful for.
