The Goldfish

The Goldfish is a collection of poems by Ikhda Ayuning Maharsi Degoul. With illustrations by Emma Dai’an Wright.

“I enter the white cave filled with white roses and white candles. I think I am alone, lost in this cave of madness. I continue to walk to the vulva space. A space of pleasure, says the whispering voice (I don’t know where it comes from). Look for the crown. I step forward, I turn to the left, then turn to the right, I jump three times and bow my head. I look around and see my shadow shaped in pink. ”
