Walls"Walls" by Ilsa Kasmar

My name is Ronnie. And I don't like people.
Don't get me wrong—I don't hate everyone. I do have a few friends, like my roommate, Kayla. Her brother, Gene, seems okay too.

Of CandlesOf Candles, by Ilsa Kasmar

There is a light inside of me,
That few people seem to see.
I shift, I morph, I flex-
I keep it protected.

A flare to light my road,
But I try to keep it hidden
From hungry spiders and toads.

But I see more than my own.

I search for candles matching mine,
