Shades of Halloween!! Your poem certainly makes ones skin crawl. Makes one wonder just exactly what this insidious worm under the skin is. Is it a lie, a yearning, and addiction or something else? Only the poet knows.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
It fits the Halloween category very well.
