Bolt

For the Sensational II Challenge

By Amanda StarksPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Bolt. ( 2021 - 2023 )

Galvanized by the horror of those pixels on the white screen,

reaching for that familial touch of a black pelt - grasping emptiness;

indescribable this sound of ringing between the screams of "no",

even as I smell the salt and rust cutting pathways down my flesh,

finally letting go of the taste of bitterness made sweet by this goodbye.

For my baby boy, Bolt. <3

Thank you for making me a mom on mother's day.
