The hallway heat has gone to bed.
The sky is dropping chunks of lead.
I peel the wool away from skin
and let the kitchen floor begin
to take the gray and heavy spill.
The hem is drinking up its fill.
A widening ring of winter grit.
I stand in the center of it.

Hey! Your poetic style and imagery are super vivid. As a freelance visual artist, I love collaborating with poets to create per stanza art pieces and continuous poem illustrations. If you’d like to explore an art adaptation for your poetry, drop me a line on Discord (chloemadisonn) or Instagram (elsaa.uwu).
