Excavation
and i wonder about all this talking
we do
we write these words in excavation
and bury our own hearing
who is really listening?
my son wants to know about the depths of ocean
and the expanse of water
will there be enough?
and why didn't you have a dad?
he was just too mean
why is always the simplest answer

Such captivating, striking brevity. What is said, as powerful as what is not. Why...when no more can or need be said. We dig deep but cannot nor should we feel the need for complete disclosure at all time. Not only what we know and feel forms us but so that which we hold close. Incredible work dear girl, congrats on inclusion here, well deserved.
