Echoes fade.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

This feels like a partner’s soothing tones to someone struggling, but maybe that’s just me. “Calm's cooling flakes feather their descent and”- love this line 🙌🏽
Love the conversational yet sage tone of this! Great acrostic!
Lingeringly beautiful poem. "...as calm's cooling flakes feather their descent and echoes fade...." really love those words.
Wonderfully meditative! Well done!

Hot oil, right?
