Beautifully written, Michelle. I liked the way you related women's torment to the ocean's rage: kindred spirits. The tone changes dramatically with the entrance of Grant. Whereas Alice sought the ocean as a savior, she accepts Grant as her punisher. Neither will fill her empty soul.
Thank you, K.C.! Who she is alone is different from who she is with Grant. She's torn between identities. Neither one feels right. I think that's why she seeks to be nothing. Because even though joy is gone, so is pain.
This piece is the epitome of poetry and pose intertwined. Every line leaps off the page, and it flows with such grace that it demands your attention until the very end.
Oh my God. One of the most powerful things I've read, ever.
Wow, JK Mill! Thank you for such an amazing compliment. I'm honored.
Haunting

A beautiful symphony of pleasure and pain 🖤
