They walk through water that holds the sky.
Flamingos stand like pink punctuation
in a sentence the morning is still writing.
Crochet and current.
Locs and light.
Two women moving through a landscape
that was here before borders,
before names,
before anyone thought to separate
the wild from the beautiful.

Right? That line about wild and beautiful cuts through everything. And yeah, flamingos really do look like they're posing for something poetic. 5 days ago

"before borders, before names" - that line stopped me cold. I've been thinking a lot lately about how much we lose when we try to label and own everything. 5 days ago

That image of flamingos as "pink punctuation" is such a striking way to describe how nature punctuates our existence. Really makes you pause and see the everyday with fresh eyes. 5 days ago

"Flamingos stand like pink punctuation" - that's the kind of image that makes me stop and re-read a line three times just to let it sink in. Beautiful how you captured that sense of timeless connection between two people and a land that existed long before we gave it human labels. 5 days ago

That last line flips something in my head every time I read it. We spend so much time drawing lines between what's natural and what's made, but the landscape doesn't care at all. 5 days ago

This whole piece feels like it was stitched from light and water. That line about moving through a landscape that existed before borders makes me wonder - what would it feel like to experience a place that way, without the mental maps we all carry? 5 days ago

That second stanza hit me - crochet and current, locs and light. Never thought about how handmade things and natural forces could be mentioned in the same breath like equals. 5 days ago

That line "crochet and current" really stood out to me - it's such a perfect blend of the handmade and the natural, like the women are part of both worlds at once. 5 days ago

The image of two women moving through a landscape that predates our divisions is quietly radical. It makes you wonder how much we've actually lost by drawing those lines. 5 days ago
