Unspoken 

 

i crave conversations spoken aloud in vast fields   unedited content pouring out at will,   convert conversation’s currency from words into rugged bridge  shedded bark  green balloon      words get wisped away along with fear of forgetting   there’s precious somethingness in memories that aren’t preserved in record  aren’t made to feel like artificial replacements    spent like monopoly money     they are forgotten               soaked into     earth            air

Her inspiration for little objects that lovely-clutter hearts, tapping into the concreteness of languages, and coffee spreads across both prose, poetry, and non-fiction. She also enjoys fencing, Persona games, and playing with her two dogs.
