My ornament hung proud from a string where she was pinned to dry.
My ornament hung proud from a string where she was pinned to dry.
She loved to work creatively, her hands always busy with some dream needing anchored in reality.
As I dust off and discard old relics, they come out—anger, pain, betrayal, the remnants of broken sobs and screaming howls.
She whispered it’s in us—an earthly angel, fae-word, always connected to nature, her hum rhythm inside, twinkling, magnetic.
Her words marking me as they’d sprung from her internal world— exquisitely simple reflections.
My grandmother. She was a success for being exactly herself and following her loves.
Santa Muerte etches into my heart, Her hand over my chest— my grandmother takes mine, leading me back to balance and rest.
