Triolet

Rosalind Kong
You wake up holding a ghost. Somewhere, 
your lover is fishing in a well of stars 
for lungs filled with the air
you wake up holding. A ghost somewhere
is starving & pulls out his own hair
as twine. Clutching your lover’s memoir,
you wake up. Holding a ghost, somewhere,
your lover is fishing in a well of stars.

Rosalind Kong (she/her) is a young writer from the Mid-Atlantic. When she's not writing, you can find her drinking bubble tea, watching D&D actual play shows, and trying not to fail calculus. Find her online at rosalindkong.carrd.co.
