A pinch of a needle

In the crook of your arm,

The words gushing like blood

Until your veins run dry,

And your body goes numb.

Alyssa Musso

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
