🌜—Ode to My Father Photographing the Moon Each Night

💛—Ode to My Father Watching Pokémon 2000

“You look like the classic vision of a crescent moon. / Like a glazed croissant. A child’s vision / of imperfection, or an adult’s of perfection” —Ode to My Father Photographing the Moon Each Night 🌜

“A room full of people who knew / that Pikachu would be resurrected like / my father knows he will live again like / I am certain that our loves matter” —Ode to My Father Watching Pokémon 2000 💛

“The Huldra, the text read, is a forest spirit and seductress. She is beautiful, but under her long dress she hides a tail, usually that of a cow, but sometimes a fox. The Huldra can also have a hollow back like a rotted-out tree” — @kerimiller.bsky.social ‘s short story “Norwegian Wedding Dance” 💃🏻
