Vortex In space, perceiving Earth at a distance, something small allowing risk - daring and small. Across the waterfall that will swallow you whole. The portal to knowledge speaks volumes in tattered books, protected like ribs, bones like cages - protecting, opening the door. See in the reflection of others’ eyes. 👀
Ooo I do believe your wish was granted? We were recording on the train the other day for the poetry jam trip right? 🥰 I love it too. It feels extra special someone else does too.

“something small allowing risk - daring and small” shivers. Ohhhh Nina I love your poetry!!
Oh, you’re too kind 🥰
Love your prompts and love you 🥰 here's what I received 🌻
I am beside myself
On the one hand, hands bound, holding emptiness
On the other, feet first, flying along a bridge made of nothing going nowhere.
Quite a pair we make,
From the outside looking in
Catching glances and mesmerizing them effortlessly
Into unwanted scrutiny
To be an object of desire
And scrutiny, objectified by
The contrived, structural, unnatural
A vague curiosity to the impartial, impersonal, binary
I long to be beheld
Beyond apparent paradox
You see a contradiction
I see my reflection
And so,
When the door open to a brick wall
When you turn the page and it is empty
When the ground beneath you vanishes
When the inevitable *is*
Look again
Keep looking until
You Realize
Infinite potential is within you
And all around you.
Gahhhh I keep reading this over and over Allie— I LOVE IT. would loooove to hear you read this and catch a recording!
