Poem up on Hotel Masticadores!

Thank you, Michelle Ayon Navajas, for publishing “Birth Name”, a collaboration by Nolcha Fox and me.

Nolcha and I had fun spinning verses on Google Drive, responding to each other’s new verses daily for a period of time. Hope you like this poem!

Here is the start of the poem. Nolcha’s verses are regular font and mine are in italics.

Birth Name

I was born a fiction,

a death, a hardship,

a drowning, cholera,

thunder, hail, rain.

No wonder I catastrophize.

I’m a dream, as well.

Each day, two suns wake me.

A warm hearth and hot coals.

I survive with an umbrella

and ibuprofen. At times,

life support.

Like hot coffee and chocolate……….

You can find the rest of the poem in this link. Thank you for reading!
