Pleasures

A Poem

I’m thinking about the way things end,

the death of a pose.

.

Palms held open

then closed,

.

hiding from the gifts

you’re not ready to accept.

.

A body arched to heaven,

believing,

.

breathes

irrevocably

.

and speaks.

About the Creator

Eve Hill

Eve’s work is confessional, intimate, and unafraid of exposure. Anchored in real recollection, she writes about moments that unmake us. Through raw testimony, she unpicks the delirium and aftermath of loving, losing, and surviving yourself.
