Today’s #fridaypoem inspired by the #poemsabout prompt #imps
I’ve suffered from trauma related night terrors for most of my life so this sprung to mind when imps were mentioned.

a poem about transition, but it's also about what happens when your needs go unaddressed for a long time.

![An image made with my poetrypress app. It's of a poem set against a dark gradient that shifts from deep midnight blue at the top to charcoal, with a faint plum warmth in the lower left. Barely-visible darker flower silhouettes — simple five-petal daisies at various sizes — are scattered across the whole background like wallpaper you can only half see.
The poem is set in a serif face, with lines staggered and indented at uneven sizes so it drifts down the left two-thirds of the frame. It reads:
"When I opened my helmet, the nothingness forced me inside as the aether bled out of my held-shut jaw like rainbows & starlight & awe, waking up a monster, which stirs w a n t i n g, and watching from within a dead woman's dreams."
Most of the text is white. "nothingness" and "stirs" are italic. "me inside" drops to small type, with "inside" in dusty lavender. "aether" is set larger with a soft glow around it. "held-shut jaw" is a muted rose. "rainbows & starlight & awe" is italic and runs through the full rainbow spectrum letter by letter. "a monster" is lavender. "w a n t i n g" is italic with wide letterspacing, the letters pulled apart. The final line fades from sky blue through lavender into pink — trans flag colors — across "from within a dead woman's dreams."
A small handle, @unfixable.place, sits in the bottom left corner.

In "never hurts to ask" news: poetry presses open to full-length experimental manuscripts with no hefty reading fee? Happy to see as many presses as I am open to subs, but I can't justify spending $30+ per sub. #poetrymanuscript #poetrypress #speculativepoetry #sfpoetry #sciencefictionpoetry
