I used to have wild hair the kind that knit tangles in the keyholes of all the sweaters and knots in the toes of the kissing boys who used to tip toe in after school like little princes to slay that imaginary line between two lips (where we found the kisses we taught not to [...]
Sensory Interlude
It’s not often that I get requests for specific kinds of content. To be sure, I try to be as keenly aware as possible which types of posts attract the most readers and which segments of my core readership gravitate to which categories of content.
