unquiet / a poem
Sharks suffocate if they stop moving. I do too, I guess.


LITTLE BLACK NOTEBOOK, VOL. #5
13 Oct 2026
glass chimes dogs with stars in their mouths walking the path to the cathedral the sky is violent blue the leaves pale yellow and orange the air crisp but not cold enough yet for gloves, the sun is low all day it beams into my eyes my lashes turn my vision golden I do not stop to stare up at the spires even though I want to there are men tearing up the herringbone brick they sit in their van eating lunch I keep walking slowly I do not stop moving I wish there was a bench nearby where I could sit I wish I could linger without drawing attention this is such a beautiful street I want to linger in the beauty of this autumnal vision for just a bit longer please. but I keep moving.access more poems/flash fiction in my archive 🦈
