Sometimes There Are Days Like This

Just for a second,
almost between
seconds,
I felt a
slipping-
out-
of-
my-
skin
sensation,
slipping out
of old skin,
emerging
blind,
blank,
terrifyingly,
exhilaratingly
vulnerable,
a mere worm…
but a new worm,
with intimations
it might be possible
to glow.

About Ann

I am interested in the strange beauty of brokenness, in transforming possibility in difficult times, in how we heal even when we can’t get better, in the alchemy of surrender, in the interplay of light and shadow, in the bounty of everyday wonders, in the gift of laughter…and writing about it, all and everything.
