Castella
By June Oh
castella, in its own way, is
an art that is painted onto
canvases of breadpans and
muffin tins—
a nugget of rich gold bound
together by the honey it reeks
of. this honey is retrieved from
the kindest of bumblebees
who let you borrow their
creation knowing there is
no return. and my tongue
becomes soaked to prepare
for a tasteful delivery yet
my heart knows to be
patient, for i must…
oops.
my mouth couldn’t wait.
My name is June and I am a 15-year-old at North Hollywood High School. For me, writing is a form of escape and catharsis from the hardships of the world, and I find myself scribbling in my notebook multiple times throughout the day. In addition to writing, I enjoy listening to music, hanging with friends, and playing with my dog in the backyard!
