Going to the Underworld to find you answer me answer me when you recognize my voice calling for yours I’ve been alone with memories of you: how the rhythm of your nouns touched the way my verbs sobbed, and the rest of syntax lined up like lips on the ghost of skin. Don’t leave again don’t for a moment believe I have given up on you I will wipe my tears and dive through the nine circles until you are in my arms again and even then we’re not safe we never are not until after this world Until then I’ll keep calling with my name until you recognize your own. --- _Written by Starling on Wednesday, April 29, 2026.
