writer / poet / artist / mother
i am forever oscillating between intentionality and falling into versions of myself i wasn’t expecting.
in me is the refusal to be locked down by any one thing, any definition of who i am, any this-means-that bullshit. we're all just fucking animals, killing each other, doing horrendous things but somehow it all adds to the beautiful grotesque of what it means to be alive.
hurtling towards
motherhood
i am caught in
a rip
pulling me out
to sea
looking to shore
i am out of my depth
everything familiar
getting smaller
suffocating
the enormity of the
ocean
motherhood
swelling
i'm not ready
to die
