You find a tree with a heart beating inside. What would you do? Heartwood by @moirariom.bsky.social is a lush tale of obsession and the ecstatic joy of something WANTING you. www.adventitious.net/stories/hear...

Heartwood by Moira Richardson
You find a tree with a heart beating inside of it. You do the hard work of carving something living trapped within. Something inside wants you.

Good morning, says the universe, how about a triple stack of rejection smothered with sweet, sugary despair? I’d rather have pancakes… #submitelsewhere #blackoutpoetry #blackoutrejection #rejection
Unfortunately my heart is cold lost writer Submit not a reflection our wayQuit. Rejection due to no interest
