I admire her persistence and oh, how her howling soothes like the thumping inside my womb those vibrating drums birthed from her mouth I admire her persistence how these beats stretch across her howl The night twinkles bare, bare, bare, with dull blood Dance in her womb, crawl on your knees, eyes shut A mighty handContinue reading “Heart Song”

It’s Not About Creative Freedom
Where do I want my work to lead me? This is what I’ve been asking myself tonight. If I’m going to leave my future self a bread crumb trail, where do I want to lead myself?
