loose threads

six days in and i haven’t expired yet! i even have some projects planned for various points throughout the month. on the non-writing front, i dipped my toe into fabric painting last week, which has been on my to-do list for 2024. it is extremely fun and using it as the medium for embroidery has me swooning a little, i won’t lie.

when i wake 
deep in the belly of night
silver rivers cut through
the dark to illuminate your leg
stretching beyond the blanket

i dive into the current
and let it carry me 
to the crook of your knee
where i nestle safe 
in a warm alcove
until sleep finds me again
