For the #Circular prompt, I feel like taking a journey back to my first publication, circa 2007.

🧵 Style in 5 movements—

because the formatting I was 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘰𝘰 into back in the day is a sonofabitch to deal with. 😆

No one is a greater stranger to me than myself.
Each time, the excavation begins with my brain and heart.
My cerebrum
confused.
My atrium, my ventricles
tired.
Yet my soul knows me well,
whispering that the world outside only disturbs them.

She stands
Facing her path
Wary of the electric skies
That makes her want to
Turn back
But yet, she is drawn in
To another world
Of escape
And free spirited living.
