I found your poem where you use these words!!!! I've still got them scrawled on a piece of paper on my desk! So excited to read this. It's as lovely as I knew it'd be. So glad the Universe prodded me to look up your works on a whim...and select this one!

Truly in awe of these lines:

I stand beside my messy words,

one foot on the ground,

the other skateboarding on a star,

spilling ink and crushing parchment

into fine crystals of anger and velvet,
