your eyes as heavens tremble.

I held him, his bones

    Ooo is this a nod to the second coming? Something ran through my body whilst reading this, the cover photo was also a great choice. I can’t get over the last line, it’s so powerful. It captures the breath and rendered me speechless. It’s otherworldly, connecting us to the spiritual realm quite literally.
