THE LAST REPRIMAND — after Christina Rossetti

From childhood scolding to grown silence, from temple bells to inner strength — I carry memory, not pride, only humility.

PHOENIX IN MY THROAT —after Sylvia Plath

Haunted by Sylvia Plath’s ghost ,but writing of my own transformation.
Ash became alphabet. Flame became language. Silence became survival.
