This above post is about being a woman.

And an autistic one at that.

Whenever I see the punchline “You had ONE job” I become mildly enraged. I’ve never had just one job in all my life. 😂

❤️🫶❤️

oh, love
surely Heaven
is a place of fierce forgetting
of all the earthly moments
that refused
to hold you
with me

#poetry

Thank you so much. 🥰

she is
a symphony
of blood and bone
orbit of a corporeal orchestra
whose tendons thrum like strings

#poetry

Brilliant! 😅

🥰❤️🫶

she hopes for hope
the way a summer garden
hopes for rain

#poetry

she is
the seed
that cracks the sky
into a clamouring of wings

#poetry

Thank you muchly. ☺️

November arrives
in filigrees of frost
and pinnacles
of promise

I’m playing a game today where I get up and accomplish some housework every time my dog leaps off my lap to go bark at something.

Lovelies, I am getting SO much done. 😂

🥰❤️🫶

she wears
her grief
as a coat
of many
sorrows

it snaps
and swirls
in the storm
of her

but it reminds
her how to
dance

Thank you so much! Love your take on bowerbirds. ☺️

oh, love

we are bower birds
collecting the bones
of too many sayings
left unsaid

our feathers stained
by hues of bruise
[indigo, azure,
and dapplings of plum]

you haunt me
in supernovas of silence
till even my marrow
is rendered numb

#poetry

Thank you so much. 🥰

Thank you so much. 🥹

What a lovely thing to say. Thank you so much. ☺️

☺️❤️🫶

oh, love

the way your smile
scaffolds the sky
till the sun is done
painting it with lights

#poetry

I am holding
too many words
in the pocket
of my mouth

and this ache
rooted in my chest
speaks of nothing
but empty sky

Thank you so much! Alliteration is one of the very best toys. 🥰

Thank you. ☺️

The force that drives us. 🥰

she’s made herself
a m o s a i c heart
from the aftermath
of the ricochets

she is shrapnel
spackled together
with achings
of possibility

Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
