I kept it for the end of my day, itโ€™s a beautiful poem. Your writing brings lightness, vulnerability. It opens me, which is good. Thank you.

Abriel I love your writing. The poem brought tears of understanding and compassion as I remembered singing Leonard Cohen every day for weeks after Hillaryโ€™s loss to such a monster. Your final paragraph is poignant as well and may I post it on FB with your credit of course? Is that ok? โ€œWe live in a world where the fine spider filaments bonds of love cross every border and braid us all into one another so fiercely no nation-state can render us apart. Living and being loved supersede citizenship. INFINITE PASSPORTS FOR ALL.โ€ Love, love, love. Strawberries and white cakesโ€ฆbeautiful.
