The kiss began
an unravelling,
a heart #relinquished,
#liberated through
subjugation—
complete surrender
to another
#reverence shown
by #benevolent hands
that #cherish
& #replenish
their love
an #assimilation
of heart, soul
& body—
a knowing
that needs
no #appraisal—
a knowing
beyond question.

Something overdue: Add being #adopted -- being #relinquished then eventually adopted -- to list of #ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). It's traumatizing to relinquish your child. It's traumatizing being #abandoned at birth by your mother, sold family of strangers.
It's grief loss fear pain.
🥚If you were #relinquished to be #adopted or #fostered:
How do you feel about your #birthday?
Mine is soon and I've been dreading it for weeks.

The tree #relinquished its final leaf,
surrendering to winter’s hush.
It pirouetted through the brittle air,
tugged back and forth by unseen fingers,
fluttering in frantic protest before dipping—
spent and trembling—
it collapsed onto the frostbitten earth
in a final, shivering sigh.
