"Towards an Alchemy of Words"

it's hubris, to be sure,

      at best a made up science,

at worst a lover's lie,

      a con-man's tell,

            a legacy of fools


that these leaden words,

      arranged just so within their crucible,

      can gain the gleam of gold.

AUTHOR'S NOTES
✫・゜・。.・。. ✭

Every title has a poem buried there between its words. I thought it was high time this book had a proper piece of poesy to help put it in its place. Nothing too fancy or far-reaching — just a little self-deprecating flourish to help make a humble house a home.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
