My name

Two tributes

each to my past

both to my future.

The first is a remembrance of what still lies in my room

A token of childhood

a pile of anthropomorphic animals in outfits

with houses and furniture and food items.

The second is a memorial

to a character from a book

the second half of her name

before she was lost forever

not even among where her ancestors roamed.

They are connected

one,

my past,

the other,

her future,

both potential and absolute

neither undeniable

both

connected

to me.

    It's a band piece

    weird, I know

    it's from last year

    and we only played it in concert once

    but it means a lot to me

    it reminds me of a lot.

    Of Webtoons and authors and demented circuses

  • Me

    How

    do others see me?

    Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?

    Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?

    Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
