I don’t disappear into books.
I arrive.
Somewhere between ink and breath,
my name fits better.
My bones remember their shape.
In that other world,
grief has language,
magic answers honestly,
and no one asks me
to be smaller than I am.
I walk its roads like I’ve lived there before.
Like I was always meant to.
When I return, reality feels thin—
a place I visit,
not the place that knows me.
Because some worlds don’t distract you.
They recognize you.
