Page 32 - Dark Matter Women Witnessing

Notes:

I wrote these poems shortly after my divorce. At that time, I was feeling particularly

unloved by people. I had a few friends and was alone on many levels. Being in that

position reminded me to reach for and acknowledge other connections and for non-

human beings that loved me.
