(S)lip – A Rustic Mind
This poem is part of a theme I’m following for a writing challenge, viz, A–Z of THINGS THAT STAY. Each piece in this theme will be a poem about what lingers; memories, habits, words, absences, people, objects, seasons, versions of self, and more. Today’s post focuses on the letter ‘S’.
