​hi, this is me, mel

​

mel, like darkness and what blooms in shadows. also like a-mel-io-ra or honey.​

I write to unfold maps into the unknown.

decorating language with uncertain questions. like a tree at christmas.

tapping finger onto galvanized steel to hear if it sounds like embroidery floss.

all borders tumbling like cloth as we tuck ourselves under warmed covers.
