two little poems, both very dear to me, out in this gorgeous issue of @doorisajarmag.bsky.social 🖤✨
cover of a journal titled “Door = Jar” / Winter 2025 / Issue 37. Photograph of a woman posing in green wearing a gold/bronze metal ribcage trailing dark red leatherish sinews Page 26: “Advice to My Younger Self” / Felicia Krol / Poetry No—I wouldn’t dare. Cruel of me, maybe, and not without guilt; just beautiful things are coming and I don’t want to get in her way. All I will tell her is this: I love you because I know she needs to hear it from me most of all. Page 27: “Telling Secrets” / Felicia Krol / Poetry We sit, knees together, on the floor in the dark like we’re twelve and just learning to kiss. I strip off my own. I take those you give me, tender, with petal-soft hands. I promise to keep each one safe. So much of love is a kind of unfurling; it’s a practice, being so soft and so held. How strange, to know that it all led us here—to this room, to this night— bared, brave, and speaking in whispers: I trust you. I love you. Now hold out your hands.
