weave themselves

in these loose and blowing strands”

Lovely poem. This line stands out to me.

Also congrats on collaborating with an artist! This is exactly what I have been looking to do… create new poems inspired by art from other artists or photographers (in or outside of Substack).

(I haven’t yet… am looking for collaborators).
