I’m loving these alphabet poems. I like that I can see this one. It’s very visual and a little haunting.

This poem is powerful. Sometimes, we need to grind our dreams to dust because they can get blown away, where they end up somewhere. We want our dreams to end somewhere, take us to some place new and different. Very beautifully written!!

I must confess I’d never thought about my pestle in this way but yes, it’s a great analogy – you do have a way with words, Jaya, this is really very powerful 🙂

Very poignant and yes, hope does lie in the ashes that’s from where the phoenix rises.
Jaya Avendel
Lovely thought, Megha! I never thought of the phoenix to further the poem!

this is hard-hitting and even though we know about the inequality in this world your piece is so very necessary.

Often it takes one more piece to open another pair of eyes. 🌝🌎
Thank you for reading!

Sometimes it does take a few pieces to force open those conveniently shut eyes
Thank you for your visceral piece.
The struggle continues ✊
