Hi! I'm Nissa. This is one of my earlier blogs. My main blog is My Antimatter Writing Life on Wordpress.com, but I keep this up both for my archives and because I like the way Blogger blogrolls work. I only post here once in a while, but thanks for stopping by.

Opium Cactus: paper dragons (with audio)
blue & yellow folded paper dragons
sail away in an indigo Tintenfaß
dragons dangerous yet delicate
for they cannot breathe fire
and live

I love this poem. It makes me want to close my eyes and imagine an entire story to go along with it.
