"I know I'm somewhere in the blackness of the room,
my teeth gnashing like a metronome,
my tongue swollen in rant and looking at life
through trifocals smudged in delusion."
in "Flayed" by Steve Gerson, in the New Spring Issue of @scapegoatreviewscapegoatreview.org/spring-2023/st…
"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
Rilke
