And then, she grows

Fallen from a flower,

The seed begins to grow.

From a tiny timid seedling

To a beautiful red rose.

I will always continue to try and scrub you off of me

Wash you out of me

Of the shade 'Rouge Artist Natural'

Life or death may snatch you in an instant

Without asking permission

What can you do in a forest

With flames above your head

But surrender…

Numbers | Released

…Stones started escaping along the sidewalk as she went.

She started to feel the weight off her shoulders until she noticed

She ran back to pick them up and put them back into place.

Protect them from the ground…

Little one. I feel you in my bones. I hear the thunder behind your silence. You are not forgotten. Your presence is like a fire that shoves me forward. I remember you often.

and my body was her first canvas.

we made these marks together,

not with ink and needle,

but with time, with blood,

and with a heartbeat.
