When poetry is no longer a vehicle to escape in, it becomes a home to all of the beauty and pain of learning to be present. This sestina took time to write. A seven stanza poem with the first six stanzas sharing end words in a mathematical sequence, closing with a three line envoi. Sometimes my messy work craves clinical poetic structure.

You have turned this suffering into something beautiful, but it is still so much pain. 😔💕

I just found you and I am so happy, and thankful. I don't know your story. Yet. But many thoughts and prayers for you.

Tearing up reading this. Sending you hugs that hurt your bone and love that warms you. I hope and pray your days are better and nights more peaceful and some day your pain eases bit by bit and your days are just ordinary, not heavy.
