Half-Born

old lady (pixabay)Inside my outer layer is a little girl,

another version of myself,

being half-born again

and again, never

quite making it to the outside –

just hesitating, just thinking about it; mulling it over, before …

burrowing back

in.

Freelance writer and descendant of the cave dweller and outlaw, Humphrey Kynaston. Banished from Shropshire for my eccentricity, I have made my home in Suffolk. I write poetry, short stories, travel journals, comedy gig reviews and non-fiction articles. My wish is to write my way back into the heart of my birth land. All writing commissions (and free holidays in Shropshire!) considered.
