On a Sunny Morning, I Teach My Four-Year-Old How To See My Bones From The Outside Terri Linn Davis (Flame) and Abigail Hora (Spark) I hold my hand out to him and make a fist, and my knuckles the tendons and bone show through my skin like white sharks in the shallow end of a pool. He and I are riveted by bone, confined by red spider lilies. I know it is hard to acknowledge the skeleton inside your mother. I show him I am bendable and make him laugh by folding my ear into something smaller than what it is, like a mollusk or a map of the world. He finds a flashlight and learns how to ignite my fingernails into blood windows. There are acres of capillaries behind stained glass, and he shouts the verb, "bleed" instead of "blood." Your mother is dead, and this grief is a kind of bleed-ing. Even now- it reds, it spiders, it lilies.
I have a collabrative poem in this issue of @s2fjournal.bsky.social with my spark, Abigail Hora! I absolutely love this journal and this creative exercise.
Thank you so much to editors, Katherine and Natalie!

My very first flash CNF was published with @pitheadchapel.bsky.social ! I've loved and submitted to them for many years, and I'm so so happy that is the one that stuck!
If you like The Spice Girls and the 90s (and me ), I would love it if you'd give it a read 🩷
