I call this one “song of experience”.

you claim that i’m better than you, when in realityi’m nothing but a practiced poor player who knows how to call fire and gold from nothing but wordsi stand before you and strut and fret my hour upon the stagein much the same way i did since i was a child -and when i became…

“an exhumation”

your vast hymnals to my divine madnessfail to capture the sum of me -for I AM theology, but pressed into stretches of silencethe wind rattling the wire shared secrets between friends, spinning arms, and if you cannot find my pain, then no -you cannot have my joy at all. -Allēna, 7/18/2025.

I found a cool as hell prompt series/poetry competition hosted by @poetchaotique on Instagram, and this is my response to no. 13, (a)live. I call it “letter to theseus”. -Allēna

Doing a little writing this morning.

This piece is called “pound of flesh”. I wrote it using this tool I also made: https://opensorceryy.itch.io/infinite-poems-almost-infinite-combinations. -Allēna #poetry #queerpoet #transpoet #books #amwriting #amwritingpoetry #writingcommunity #readerswanted #writerswanted

A new poem I’m calling “1.618:1”.

My chosen brøther requested that I write about trees. So (with a little creative license) I wrote about trees at like 5:30 this morning, lol. -Allēna #poetry #bodyimage #growingup #writingcommunity #transpoet

This is “20 January 2025”. I must be in my glow cloud era artistically, I guess 🤣 -Allēna

Some art and words for you in these trying times.

Sad poem for what is so far shaping up to be a lemon of a day. If you enjoyed this piece, “no one’s fault but mine” appears in my newest very queer chapbook, which can be found here: https://opensorceryy.itch.io/easy-to-hate-like-everything-you-love -Allēna #poetry #poem #queerpoet #sadpoem #transpoet #writingcommunity

Per my last post, my chapbook Field Notes From a Colder Time has a companion playlist, as well. Listen here.

I am a bit nervous since, in the true spirit of the game, most of it spilled out of me in about a week, late at night when I couldn’t sleep.
