Notebook Margin Before the Sentence

A scene-led poem that brings words into close focus.

The scene came first: The notebook margin before the sentence. One crossed-out phrase left its pressure on the page. A spoken kindness changed the temperature of the room. This is how Words entered: through the knowledge that language can wound, shelter, reveal, and repair.

After Words
