Listening to my best friend
Whom I am absolutely in love with
Get railed upstairs
While I am lonely
While I am tethered
To this desk
To this job I fucking hate
To my broken heart
Wedged open with forceps
Filled with salt and broken glass
And piss and dirty needles
Healing around this hole
Like a piercing I didn't ask for
It's not about her though
It's the painful juxtaposition
Between their joy
And this vile disenchantment
I carry in my chest
A hex I've yet to bury
That no one deserves
The curse of an open heart

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.
