A Lokean Devotional Vignette
“I’m not sure how to respond.” I admit.
“Do you need to respond at all?”
Loki presses stars on my window pane.
Tag: silence
the silence
gutted
enough room
for me
Tear in my throat
mind set to silent-mode
heart catching
and
catching
on scar tissue
My throat locking
lips too heavy to move
Eyes squinting, heart beating against bone
the air too quiet
kindness felt violent
panic overcorrecting
