Some y’all don’t conceptually understand that the first line of a poem is an apple that’s fallen from a tree thus the rest of the poem is an effort to reconstruct the tree from which it fell — AND IT SHOWS 🥸

‘smudged like a ghost
losing its yell’
- from ‘Strange Beach’ by Oluwaseun Olayiwola @itsamule
I think this is the shortest poem I have in my forthcoming collection — meaning you can read it before the paywall kicks in 😈 @softskull @FitzcarraldoEds
'Need it be that serious? Yes, / he said, the waves moaning how they’re / moon-trained all year regardless of season'
