Black Sheep [(T)urned] White Dove ft. @ShayRetrograde.
Sometimes I work on poetry, solo
Creating ballads strictly from the well of my experience. But what I sometimes notice is that when work on a poem is that part of what inspires me happens to intersects with other creatives, namely, my friends.
Here is something I co-created with my best, Shavonne Bell and what a wonder it was. During the process of birthing this work, I created a framework where the goal was to narrate the experience of rising from the ashes in your own life.
Part of the ethos of Intrepid Bodies lives in this poem. The resiliency of human nature, the ways in which we expand to fill more of our rightful places when we learn all that we can from hardship, and eventually the sweet sweet soundlessness of crystalized wisdom, humming through your bones.
I hope you enjoy this work half as much as we enjoyed making it for you.
