Xeno Hemlock

Bitter is the potion that shapes my future,
transcends the norms and forges my culture.
Bitter is the blood that runs in my veins
and makes me my superstar Samuel Twain.

Bitter is the water that feeds the trees
of my Neverland where I do as I please.
When you ask why my stories don’t glitter
Because, not salty, my tears are bitter.

This is the original #xenobyte version of “Bitter”. It was expanded into a longer form and was included in the anthology The Lion Eating the Sun.
