a tanka poem

a wisp gifts me time

to tender wells meeting mine

a floating feather

our cores ripped out by fate’s hand

rippling phantom could haves

heartbreak

About the Creator

Michele Nampalli

This space is breath for my sensitivity. The poems come fully formed. I've known for quite some time now that my art is about receiving more than creation...its the most natural way I know to process my inner world. It started when I was 7.

    This reads like some pretty abstract stuff. It makes me think of those moments when you're reflecting on what could've been, like a "rippling phantom" of possibilities.
