Shownotes
I dream of a happy ending.
Perfect and unyielding.
A quiet love,
so loud,
its deafening.
Where I would not ever have to question their affection.
I'd be so sure of this love,
anxiety would dissipate.
One filled with faultless words of promise, burning with hope.
A brilliant,
irreplaceable light,
matching mine.
An almost planned,
adventurous future,
that I could see in their eyes.
Eventually,
this ending will find me.

One Poem Only submissions are open.
I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
