Hi. I'm still struggling with posting, so I am sending this along to you for posting, please. My friend Jamie Wilber is going to walk me through posting tomorrow. Best,

Body Betrayal (Jan 1, 2022)
Mad that my body betrayed me
with its excited response
to the familiar sound of him
calling me
Baby
taking me back to another time
when that word pouring
out of his mouth
became warm rain washing away
the ice fortress of good sense
that protected my heart
