Chimera – day 5&6

Because I know you’re keeping track, here’s two for the day I missed.

 

V

Taming the Shapeshifter

in the style of Rich

over time, they tried

to name you, tried to show

you how to understand

yourself:

shards of wood bound

to glass and silver smoothed

as flat as water, tried

to teach you

constellations, maps

for hymns unknown

old ink pressing through

flat pulp, bleeding sagas

torn from clouds

they tried instilling

longing for

one name one shape

one truth one word

one

form to hold you

so they could know

themselves.

VI

Chimera attempts to type an email

in the style of Morgan
