Clerestory
comes to mind
from the white light
spilling down
onto my bed.
A canonical,

From its singular point of origin,

Just sit
and
Be still.
Breathe in the light.

Jennifer Butler Basile
Writer balancing between two worlds. Fiction and memoir. Written and real. Parent vs. self. Want vs. need. My pen as my constant companion and key to comprehension.
