This body of work traces the arc of transformation through three interconnected forms — each mapping the soft and feral logic of becoming.
Part I: Sacred Smut Scroll (Poem)
A somatic tide-map of rupture and rot, this poem follows the body through five phases of molting — from premonition to pressure, split to shedding — using lunar rhythm and erotic tension as guide.
Part II: Voice Memo Series (Epistolary)
Told through five unsent voice memos, this raw narrative reframes the poem as intimate audio—capturing the disorientation, ache, and slow reclamation that come with shedding who you used to be. A chatGPT re-crafting of the Back Seam Ecdysis Sacred Smut Scroll.
Part III: The Ecdysis Almanac (Field Guide)
A post-molt ritual tracker and erotic compost bin, The Ecdysis Almanac offers prompts and seasonal patterns to help you name and navigate your own transformation with honesty, salt, and breath.

Together, these works form a spiral:
the poem as invocation, the memos as rupture, the almanac as return.

You knew.
Long before the rupture,
you knew.

Pause here.
When did your body last know something before your mind caught on?
Let your belly answer. Let your jaw unhinge.
Let your spine hum.

The moon had already turned.
You felt it in your fluids— thickening, slowing, shifting course.
