"You want to know a secret? It doesn't end or begin. Just changes form. Water. All these drops might be a river someday. Might be snow. Might be in you."
Wanted to highlight Charleen McClure for being announced as the next Blessing The Boats selection with her work titled, d-sorientation. McClure's manuscript will be published next year.

I cannot control who loves me or how
they do. I control
my jaw
its orchestra of bite and spit, if necessary
its holding of a man’s bruised tongue—
I chew.
