Ally ( @theoceanisgay.bsky.social ) and I have been running a dear poetry series (Other People's Poems (@SeattlePoetry)) for almost half a year now!

Little mouse,
Discovery Park wild
petals on your breath,
jaws full of lupine and defiance.
You twitch once,
eye the hawk’s shadow,
then chew anyway
as if fear were a myth
told to bigger beasts.

I’m so glad! I’ll be continuing to add - we’ve got four more readings worth of recommendations so far ahaha.
I’ll make a singular post to contain it all on a website for easier access, too.
If you’re anywhere near Seattle - check out SeattlePoetry on IG for the reading series!
