“The Pseudonym’s Room”
There is a room
where names are left at the door,
stacked like coats
on a winter hook.
Inside, the air carries
a faint shimmer of work undone —
pages half‑turned,
ink settling into its own shapes.
A chair waits
for whoever enters next,
unconcerned with signatures
or the weight of a lineage.
Here, the walls listen
without judgement,
holding the soft friction
between what is written
and what wishes to be.
And when you step out again,
you take nothing with you
but the sense
that something in the room
shifted slightly
to make space.

This most magnificent poem
This most magnificent poem enters my soul at such an intimate level (the soul of Starward-Led, and not of "Fairy Jerry") that ordinary verbal combinations do not adequately bear the weight of gratitude.
Starward-Led [in Chrismation, Januarius]
That's so gratifying to know!
That's so gratifying to know! So glad the poem is able to be such for you.
