Ble.

"Spurs and knobs and outreaching curls of bone,
peninsulas of calcium growing in my body,
reaching for nothing
and yet,
still reaching,
grasping,
growing,
headed towards a light that it can’t conceive,
and still
it reaches."

Content warning for: death, self-inflicted death

"The name “hurricane flower”
comes from how they appear,
like disaster’s rainbow,
after storms,
a sign from God
that peace had been found again."

The Hurricane Flower

"She was starting over:
a fresh pot of coffee.
She wiped her cheeks and
took out the coffee filters,
her breath whispered into them
until the top one blossomed forth.
She lifted it with grace
placed it into the basket."
