What would it look like to be someone else? who did not wake up red-eyed and fearful? what would it feel like to be held and words said & meant to be turned gently in the measure of another’s gaze would it feel good or unnatural? by now, like an ill-planted tree, I have bentContinue reading The imperfection & the wonder ~ Candice Daquin →
