Thanks for reading Carolena--the news is so shocking--or I am amazed I can still be shocked by such things when they are the common terrorism of patriarchy.
You language sings with sadness and hope -- what brilliant, sensuous imagery -- thanks Ally! I hope your bout of Covid exits your body soon with no lasting effects. I'm looking forward to visiting your beautiful Isles next June (we'll be in Stromness and Westray for 11 days).
I cried when I read the news that you mentioned. Your poem strengthens my resolve.
Take care and grow stronger.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Deborah. The Islands are beautiful in June-you will love it here!
