This reflection is part of a collection of responses to the theme: “The View From Here”
By Mahalia Damm
The deep belly laugh.
The lover’s sleep-warm skin.
The pink gift of morning, broken
open.
I’ve spoken frankly of pain
but what of joy—
Of the light that trembles my bones?
It is there, scattered amidst the soft wreckage of my body.
It is there.
