i discovered you in a scroll and during the beginning of my journey, too and then the slow, slow crawl to forgetting the warmth of your enveloping tune
so much has changed i don't know my name, rediscovering earth to my own principles, i'm estranged but i never forgot my birth
how you nourished me in your melodic womb and held me while i fought hydras and shapeshifters how you leaving the room never meant you never left a lasting fever
im graduating. met joan pre-pandemic when the foundations of my journey were shaky and everything was not certain. now that my journey is nearing its end, so much has changed save for the uncertainty and my love for joan.
