Poem of the Day: "Fortune Teller" by Sierra July, Frequent Contributor


Fortune Teller
Sierra July

She nods, grasps her future
 Is long, blank

Till she scribes
Her own way

I thought to myself that it would be better if these strips were left blank so a person could write their own visions of the future on them, and these words surfaced
