   Melanie, i’ve read and listened to this poem several times and i keep coming back, continue to get tripped up on this passage;
   and I rode- I strode,
   on my own two-feet
   to the gallows,
   the sad-sweet moment
   of my undoing
   its not magic
   but something else
   altogether—

   this is so reminiscent of me, not accepting myself and the purposeful self sabotage i practiced. it took a long time for me not to ‘stride to the gallows’. no, it’s not magic at all.

   oh, and i thought your reading was exceptional, it really helped me feel the intention in your words. ty for this.

     Thank you for spending so much time with this one it is one of my favorites that I’ve written. I’m glad it resonated and that the self sabotage we both practiced is in our past. 🙂
