Sweetie, You’re Brand New

Poetry
Written By Kristen Csuti

I recently took up alchemy, telling 
you we’re golden when at best we’re 
mercurial, madder and madder with 
each passing retrograde phase & its 
transmutation of truth into nothing but 
good vibes, baby, & maybe it’s just 
that I’m moonstruck, stuck in a 
metempsychotic cycle like we’ve done 
this all before. like we’ve done this 
all before. like we’ve— Shake the 
eternal etch-a-sketch & draw me again. 
& babe, I’ll outlast you even then.
