Poetry Friday: the idea of shrinking is hereditary by Rupi Kaur

And then there's the actual hereditary problem of actually shrinking due to osteoporosis, but let's not go there...

It reminds me of a piece I read from the Wampanoag Tribe in the east. They write "we are still here". So often people, children too, learn only of the past as if nothing is happening now. Pushing oneself to find that space is hard! Thanks for this. Brief words, but provocative!

There is much to think about in these short lines.

I read Milk & Honey over the break. It is a powerful collection of poems. Very thought provoking.
