another day
warmth
wishing
ice on my skin
where no one could see me
so early in the morning
out on the ice
young thing
ambitious
too young to make a splash
loss never discovered
story not yet written
clean
shiny
i’m that girl
the one in all the newspapers
not like the other girls
swimming downward
lost in
what might have been
i don’t think about the other side or
below the surface
eyes ahead
i skate

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.

Love all the ice and water imagery, and this flows well when read the other way. I like the distinction between the girl whose story is unwritten, and the girl who has already been judged and seen. Nice👏
Great inverse and flows so well. Not sure which way is best
Nicely done!
A graceful stream of consciousness! ⛸️⛸️very impressive!
This is so cooly elegant!
Outstanding job!!!
Whoaaaa, this was soooo amazing!! It reads soooo well forwards and in reverse! I loved it so much!
Nicely done!
Well done… way too taxing for my brain to dream of attempting such a feat!!!
Whoa!!! Now that was good! I need all the examples I can get before I try one of these 😅 and this was solid! Well done, Em!
