A poem titled by Cherry Doyle describing fleeting moments of discomfort and anticipation, with imagery like 'blood rushes at the corner of a nail,' 'jumper caught on a door handle,' and 'pansies nodding in speckles of rain.' The text is displayed in a clean, minimalist design.
Cherry Doyleβs poem is a breathtaking cascade of lifeβs small violences and quiet reckonings. @cmdoet.bsky.social
