Amelia Guillet

Tangled Frequencies

                                                                        We pass Wlike ghosts in Edaylight;

        eyes brushing      but never anchoring—

                                                         yet, Asomething lingers.

               A laugh echoes down a Rstreet I’ve Enever walked,

                           and still I feel the string pull     like a cord coiled between lives

      Is it Cmemory: or a Oshared echo

                        of Nbeing ?

                        We are notes

                        each breath, each—Nheartbeat. –  a     tone

           in time’s score

               the Esymphony swells.  —   but no one notices

                                                                   I inhale Cstories i’ll never—hear

              a Tflicker

                      a glance across—the aisle

                                   and  a chord

                           is

              struck

    we are Emaps.  with overlapping roads:

                                  Dharmonies layered. .across lifelines

                       composed—by the same. unseen. hand.


Amelia is a 14-year-old student and emerging writer, excited to publish her first poem. She has always loved the freedom literature gives her to think deeply and how it opens different perspectives and expresses emotions with a unique approach. Through her work, she hopes to encourage reflection and help others see the beauty in the ordinary and extraordinary.
