I don't usually make #poetry in anything other than text but I didn't have a pen. Or Internet access. And I kinda like the effect. Alt text in following toot.
Inspired by the line that is struck through, from Sea of Fertility by Bella Ham, as read by Kate Baker on the #Clarkesworld #podcast

A screenshot of the Note to Self screen on Signal messenger. A struck-through line reads: "A poet would erase everything to break up with the world."
The following message reads:
Except for, perhaps, you.
Your occasional patronage in my sky
would be missed by my memories
if they were all that were left behind.
Both of the messages have a spinning circle attached, signifying that they haven't yet been sent. Because everything has been erased, perhaps.
