THE LAST LAYER is a somber, intimate poetry collection exploring lesbian grief, memory, and the slow weight of healing. Set in the quiet sanctuary of the kitchen, these poems trace the bittersweet aftermath of losing a partner. It is a tender tribute to queer love and survival-written for anyone learning to rebuild a life from the fragments left behind. I still measure enough flour for two, forgetting you no longer sit at the table. The oven grows cold, but the memory of you, Is the one thing I cannot make stable.

Dark demons Whispers within How am i to let go Of the shadows That are eating my soul.

A breathless line between control and choice, I yield my body to your quiet reign; In absolute surrender, I find my voice, Where sacred trust dissolves the edge of pain.
