OKAY I am Real Pleased about this one + glad to have finished my two prepped poems waiting for me to have enough clarity of thought to design. it's such a stunner!!! this is the latest in a series of (Star Trek based) collage poems and you can find the rest here. The Sun is from a calendar page and the words are cut from an old book on fun facts, then arranged into a new poem! It took me a while to decide on the composition, but once i found it, i almost didn't want to glue the words on!

I think about the themes of repression and isolation and struggle and loneliness and connection and reaching out and finding your reason to be (and and and) every day. and you know what else i think about every day? Spock and Captain Kirk are in love + it matters so much I'd love to tell you lots more about it and my collages/poetry if you're interested!

Transcript below!

Do not speak to me of dragon fire. I have known it's wrath and ruin.

Though I must go, endure not yet

A breach, but an expansion,

Like gold to airy thinness beat.

If they be two, they are two so

As stiff twin compasses are two;

Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
