This is the centerpiece of this collection and is a homage to a poem called Saint Francis and the Sow
By Galway Kinnel.
After the end of an abusive relationship, I happened upon this poem. Reading it sparked something in me that has remained ever since, and whenever I feel the whispers of that abuse that still linger in my head, I remember it.
I will quote a part of it here
"The bud
stands for all things,
even for those things that don’t flower,
for everything flowers, from within, of self-blessing;
though sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on its brow
of the flower
and retell it in words and in touch
it is lovely
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing;"
