loophole

i got a book on the greatest works of edgar allen poe today, and i forgot just how hard it is to read classical poetry. my brain feels like it’s melting and being reconstructed. luckily i had the ethereal healing of Aurora’s What Happened to the Heart to bring me back to bliss. i’m excited to dive in further, but the surface level is daunting and requires focus – which i don’t often have. here’s: loophole

look no further than beneath
the walls that you constructed
to protect yourself from the
very thing you now yearn for
