The only thing more agonizing than invisible disability and chronic pain is having the world believe you are fine because “You don't look disabled.” Many thanks to Diode for publishing these poems about the ways invisible disability erases suffering from view.

Hi.
Where do we sign up for a dull moment.
It's almost that time of year when the sun disappears and I turn my heart into a SAD lamp to prevent from spiraling into a seasonal depression.
Here I am reading in Tacoma last Saturday. 🩷
I am fully embracing the PNW fall/upcoming winter.
Poem revision is going HARD. One is getting more intense and another is probably getting worse, but I’m doing my job pretty well at this moment.

POEM #276: "Keepsakes" by Lana Hechtman Ayers (@lanaayers23.bsky.social)
"what the heart holds it holds
despite rebuttals from blurred photos
home movie reels or grandma’s pshaws
& there are chrysanthemums
growing in the past
that move like a storm blowing in"
