Thank you for reading Mimesis Kinesis! The poetry here is always free to read, but I do offer paid subscription options for anyone who would like to support my work. Or, you can simply buy me a coffee and help me stay awake so I can write more. Whether you choose to pay or not, I’m grateful that you’ve chosen to spend time here.
