Absurd Girl Writes

A Spell for Letting Go

Honest shapes
are meant to bleed,
and this one 
is to grieve:

Some things
are never meant
to save.

Buried
in their past,
caged without a key.

A dying dance
with light—

A spell to burn,
in the ashes—
sanctuary.

I’m the author of Absurd Girl—poems, stories, and truths on the strange and beautiful absurdity of life. A Midwesterner at heart, I live in Maryland with my husband, Great Dane, and retired racehorse. The absurd is waiting. ✨
