Clear chambers & rabbit holes (Working title)
You’re always back at the hourglass
Itchy sand; the hours pass
Nobody knows your name
Unwatered seed, dormant in sand
into the castle
Nobody knows your name
Where are you
The taste of salt
In the wounds
just go back to the abandoned forest
You already found the magick there
Sandalwood & pouring rain
Even though there are monsters
the heroes will follow
When you know your name
I’ll give you a hint —
It’s beyond what is inside this glass chamber
So much of your color is contained in there
Cherry colored blood
That’s beyond a body unseen
Courses through your veins
Commuting through yourself
All the sirens seize to sound
As you remember your name
Away from the breakable pseudo-desirable fantasy

Explanation & discussion of the chosen poem by pen name Lyn Autumn:
This poem is no longer called "Hope Sandoval is best girl." At the time of writing this, I was being silly since I couldn't think of a name for this poem, but now maybe I will call it "Clear chambers & rabbit holes" though, you may call it whichever you think sounds better. This was a very reflective poem. At first, I wanted to make it completely inward. Though I know that the issue that I was discussing & going through was a common part of a lot of people's lives, & why so many of us are stuck somewhere that feels inescapable. It's also true that this poem can be heard differently at different times, you may listen & know that there is more than one meaning. Perhaps what it meant to me isn't the case for you, & that's to be expected. The voice in my words will not sound the same to every ear, so even if you (all) read this, & can't find a meaning that resonates, I will still write poems for the original reason I began
