Absolutely stunning work by Jaime Gill in @pitheadchapel.bsky.social. It seems we lived in San Francisco at the same time. So many lost.

Gorgeous prose poem by @russellbrakefield.bsky.social in the new issue of @pitheadchapel.bsky.social
"We had tried to cauterize our separate childhood wounds with skin and sweat... In the van, with āBeast of Burdenā blaring, we tried to numb ourselves and feel something better at the same time."
