The Verdigris Gate

1. Write a few lines where a memory of a real place begins to blur into a scene from mythology, perhaps using the feeling of déjà vu to bridge the gap between what is known and what is imagined.

Consider focusing on the texture of handled matter—objects worn smooth by time or touch—to ground the shifting logic of the dream. 2. Imagine a pale luna moth acting as a guide through these romantic ruins, leading the poem toward a sense of wanderlust that has no specific destination.

Allow the language to roam freely across the page, ending on a small image of a copper gate turning green under the weight of a long, quiet evening.
