Disabled poet & community artist. North East. Writing about hope with dragons in it, and hEDS. Pre-order debut pamphlet with Verve Poetry Press! linktr.ee/thewordtinker

Today I went for a walk without my dog, which I forget is allowed! Not taking her meant I could use the bus, which meant I could go somewhere beautiful, and sit on a stone in the sun, and breathe in the spring, which is rushing headlong into blossom. Awaken, little soul.
