This gave me shivers. She is a fathomless human being and this was wonderful and powerful.

@innocentrangav - it's about the ascension of a human soul. after a heinous hate burning, the "victim" emerges from the ashes, an angel. the thing to ponder, for me, is whether the poet is asking or telling me to put the images together in an effort to raise the victim's story.

I'm trying to remember this every day. It could keep me humble and a bit more open to love.
