PS: Obviously written on a less-than stellar day. Just when I thought I was out of words, and definitely out of poems, this reminded me that you are never out of things to write/ say if you are willing to speak the truth. And finding oneself out of words is only an indication that one hasn’t been speaking (or hearing) one’s truth- even to oneself.
