This poem is my first attempt at writing about things that are more personal to me — things that I tend to keep locked and tucked away — and sharing it with the world. Thank you again, @Heroin_Chic_Mag for helping to make that happen.

@StewSinclair “and only english was left to me, only english absolved me of what was coaxed from my lap while I looked away and through the window open like an eye over the bed. Desire made a door of me and I kept it ajar.” — “Theophanies” by @caesarah_

Shout out to the @torchlitarts Writing Circle. They're literally the only reason I've been able to get any writing/submitting done this past month.

For my birthday this year I’ll be seeing my two favorite actors, Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, act in my favorite Shakespeare play, Othello, and I absolutely cannot wait. Cheers to turning 30 🥂

Midmorning I like to think that once my body was a willow, and I was good with stillness and the fluidity of a moment, joining the wind in movement or another body brushing through. I could not still, now, if God asked.
