With Mercury sidling up to the Sun all week, the winged messenger nudges you back to the real source of value: you. Circling back to this core truth reinforces your worth more than any outside assessment or digital currency portfolio ever could.

law school is over

click “leave meeting” on the zoom 

now, go back to bed 

[sarahresponda]

A sea full of duds

The torture of being near

Patience rewards me

[sarahresponda]

the air is heavy

and i cannot breathe deeply

debilitated 

[sarahresponda]

literally me 

[sarahresponda]

from two to none in

one summer and now I am

relieved and growing

[sarahresponda]

As I lay here without you

I transport myself underneath the stars

Sitting with you on your roof

[sarahresponda]

Is it possible

for a place to make you feel

physically ill?

[sarahresponda]

Do you ever feel

as though you want peace so you

just have to hide? Same.

traveling in quarantine means old film slides from my grandparents’ trips in the ‘80s

[sarahresponda]

As I fight the urge

To continue reliance

On you, I crumble

[sarahresponda]

A floral surprise

Of a hot July evening

Is before my eyes

[sarahresponda]

Over one month in

Remembering when old flames

Were more of a win

[sarahresponda]

I see my future

And there he is by my side

But now I’m alone

[sarahresponda]

Saturday night miss

As I’m longing for your kiss

Is she your future?
