each

heart is a seashell,
fragile

void of water,
hardened to self,

sharing sand
with a scattered mass
of otherness,

each the same,

[ filled with
such beautiful noise ]

awaiting an ear
shaped to match-

each to curl
against the other's spiral

seamless

Ah.

When I use 'nope' in notes it means I am a bit closed off. Not so unusual for me, but I worry when my favorite extroverts start closing off.

That said, this holds a tender love, really, for self and perhaps for those gathered around self.

I am glad to see you writing through this, Kate.

You do know where to find me.

Gmail is my more reliable source of comm. today (actual email) as the filter is tight as hell..and I'm getting in very intermittently.

again.
