This is gorgeous! Love this stanza:

That’s fine, it’s too late now.

You made a monster.

Two of them, in fact.

We broke free,

and now you think,

you can put us back in your cage?

I think the cage imagery works so fantastically well. This is gonna stick with me today!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Gaby! That was one of my favorite stanzas as well.

Oh my gosh 🥹 I love that this is a companion piece to that other story!

I just listened to your narration of it on Instagram 😂

This is absolutely stunning!

Thank you, Mina! Appreciate you checking out the reel over on IG as well. I'll post a reading of this one today, most likely.

Thank you, Wendy! These characters are very near and dear to me. A tragic love story, to be sure, but I love writing about them.
