Limbs: A Poem (Escapril #3)
The following is a part of a 30-day writing challenge, Escapril, started by author Savannah Brown. You used to be a part of me. Living in harmony with the rest of my body, you were as attached to me as I was to you. Diseased. Gangrenous. You threatened to spread your poison to my heart […]
