I stand where painted playground colors gleam, Where childhood games wear masks of sharpened stakes; A fevered pulse beneath a neon dream, Where every fragile hope trembles and breaks. Green light—my heart sprints forward, fierce and wild; Red light—I freeze with breath held in my chest. The rules are simple, cruelly reconciled: Survive the round, …
A Lyric Poem for the SumeriansLet the reed stylus bite the wet clay,Not for ledger, not for grain,But for the hour between sun and sun,When the moon-boat floats on the Euphrates.O city of Ur, your bricks are stamped with stars,Your ziggurat hums like a plucked string.In the courtyard, the beer jug sweats,And the lu-gal drinks …

Uncharted SkiesThis waking world is not the one I knew,A stranger, bright with elemental breath,Where crystalflies on seas of azure flew,And ancient dragons dream of looming death.I climb the peaks where Mondstadt’s freedom rings,And trace the stone contracts that Liyue keeps,Through Inazuma’s storm, where lightning singsA song for promises the nation sleeps.Each Archon’s tale a …
