POW! So gorgeous and evocative. I'll be re-reading this poem at least two more times.

…ved its enormity as apathy
that swallowed me whole
My instinct was always to hunt down my fear,
but how can you capture
what released you into the world
with your first breath,
what delivered you through its mouth
My music took longer to come
