Cycles


Opening wide to receive
living things
brown, green
vining ivy
insect, leaf
chipping paint flake by flake.

Controlling fire to inspire
ecosystem restorations
ember, ash
decaying flora
disease, grass
prescribing burns to heal damage.

Sweeping earth to undress
prehistoric foundations
spiral, fossil
drilling bits
oil, sludge
propagating roots in substratum.

Hi! I write poetry and short stories under the pen name Carmilla Dawn. I’m a bookworm and a music and tarot enthusiast. When not writing, I can be found goofing around with my husband and kitty Freya, hanging out with my online sisters and friends, playing solo ttrpgs, jamming out to tunes, and binge watching videos on YouTube.
