The garage haircut with your sister... Not the big explanation, just that careful little ordinary act becoming safe for one minute... I don’t know, I’m being careful with that scene because it hurts in such a human way.
Incredible what you went through, and the cuts that you survived, or were patched over. Brilliant poetry. I was right there with you. It gave me a fear response. Uncanny.
Wow. I am crying. This reminds me of when my mom tried to leave my stepfather and the first thing my baby sister asked me to do was cut her bum length hair. I took her into the bathroom and we cut it, inch by inch, until she said stop when it reached her chin. I was 17, she was 9. Thank you for putting this into words.
Thank you for sharing this with me. It was a difficult one for me to post, so it means so much to me that it resonated with you. I appreciate you being here.
That's one of the best pieces I've ever read.
I'm holding my breath still.
Wow, thank you so much. 🥹 I almost didn’t post it so I really appreciate you saying that.
The line about the garage made me pause and stare.
That part is the heaviest for me, too.
I was holding my breath too. This poetry was so tense. Cuts everywhere. So many unhealed cuts.
Thank you ❤️🩹
Magnificent. Honest. Real. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the space and inspiration to share. 🖤
Our wounds help shape us in a way quite like nothing else does. They are also where the light enters.
Deeply felt, friend.
May your sun and moon be guides for that which has no place to go. 💙🌙☀️
Thank you so much for this. Appreciate you! 🤍🖤

I have nothing but admiration for that.
