The gypsy woman dance. Her skirts cup the edges of the moon. She tells her broken story from between crimson lips while silk daubs the sky behind her and indigo letters infiltrate the heartache of her tears . . .
Grey rock and liquid gold sunshine. Ocean at the end of the world kisses my feet on infinity sand. . . .
Silver bell chime at midnight. Vibration ripples through my brittle bones as soft beeswax candle casts halo on silk . . .
I stand here with my feet laced to the ebony ground brimming with crystalline rage . . .
Summer sun rises through vertebrae, erupts across my tongue, and breaks my teeth . . .
Orchard wraps its silk around me in dying, dusky air. I live and die in dreams slashed with ink . . .
I am utterly gutted to have missed the Wounds I Healed book launch! Here is how losing power for 53 hours forced me to missed it + news on today’s book launch for Social Justice Inks, an important anthology of world-changing poetry!
