Grief begins as a tight knot just under my ribs. I keep touching the spot like checking a pocket where something valuable used to live.

In tough times a poem is often the only type of reading folks can focus on.
It’s why #poems are often read when someone passes over.
Comfort found in poetry can speak to our hearts. Literally.
It’s said iambic pentameter, often found in the #poetry of Shakespeare, mimics heartbeats.

Pressure on Moms to be ‘perfect’ is immense. I used to be a Mom who was tired LOTS (I wasn’t tho’). I’d just learned:
Tired is an acceptable way
To say
We’re ‘not ok’
When really
We’re feeling
Uncomfy emotions
We’ve been taught
To suppress

Not hold our views inwards
Or shrink down, be quiet
