thrilled to share that my poem "ekphrasis x: earthenware" won the
@onlypoemsmag
poem of the month (August).
grateful to
@poetkarankapoor
& the editors at ONLYPOEMS for selecting this poem no as the winning poem.
@iamtopeajayi
this one is for you. for 'space' / for 'God's hands'
it sounds cliché, but you really do have a lot of silent lovers in your life. people who want to see you succeed. they get inspired by your courage. some might be shy to tell you, some will. just know that when you feel all alone, there are always people rooting for you.

in a room in Scotland right now, they are reading my poem! you know—it rolls that way now & then: my works stepping into larger spaces my body have not been to—
so/ Rulerless rejected my piece because i am "a supporter of the incredibly harmful technology"

. the editor did this because of an article i shared yesterday on twitter about
#NFTCommunity
. blocked me on twitter. so sickening!
