I've never written a sonnet before but my crush at AWP had me writing a quadruple one. This poem's really a love poem to poets and also to life-giving temporary crushes. Thank you @publishedbyjake.bsky.social for publishing this one! <3

Because time is ridiculous, somehow it's been exactly one year since this co-writing debut with @salenacasha.bsky.social (and we're still at it, thanks @icebreakerslit.bsky.social, you created a collaborative monster).

Filling the right frame, is a female-presenting, caucasian woman wearing her dark brown and gray hair in a bun, a light gray denim jacket with the collar popped. She leans in to the man and her right hand, nails painted red, lingers on his left shoulder. She wears red lipstick. They are both smiling.
