I love how the burn becomes both a memory and a marker, the last place where the heat still lived. Beautiful, haunting writing.

Thank you, Amina. I love hearing your perspective ❀️

I love Paul’s work's avatar

WOW. So believable and yet haunting.

No one would believe you live a calm ordered life; full of love- yet you do.

This is writing at its best.

Oof. Beautiful. Poetry.

β€œPoetry,” she says.

You see things others miss - like literally everywhere, Anne. ❀️

This began as an attempted poem, but I don't know poetry, so I made it this.

…and you saw that. You always see beyond the surface of things.

Your words give me reason to, Paul.
