A Dying Voice
I could be writing this differently. In fact, I contemplated structuring it as a letter to myself when I first joined Vocal, filling it with warnings and a list of all the ways I’d come to regret publishing here. Then, I considered the tone of such an address and saw it bursting with sarcasm and bite. I don’t want to write that.

Want to Space Your Poetry?. Top Story - December 2025.
Before I begin, this is not my tip. I credit Andrei Z. with telling me about it over two years ago in a comment somewhere. Thank you, my friend. You’ve saved many a poem. ;D (Psst, go read his stuff. He's got some beautiful poetry to lose yourself in.)

The Path to Sand. Runner-Up in Maps of the Self Challenge.
Through the screen door and past the red wooden one that is, to your memory, always open, go straight for three paces and twist right. Stand at the top of the stairs. The banisters mark an indent of a large living room, but you aren’t bothering with the living space just ahead, the hallway of bedrooms behind you, or the kitchen over to your right. You’re at the top of the stairs. A large mirror hangs on the orange-red wall behind you. (Go nearly eighteen years ago when you tried to see the back of your head as you turned in all directions.) It’s a foyer that belongs to a ranch-style home, or more specifically, a front hall; nothing about it distances you. That’s who you were when you were with this family: utterly embraced.
