Hermit Crab by Di Williams

I would not like to have a shell.
I would still like to open
to this flow of life.
I would like to know I can be safe again,
heal myself unharmed

 

Hermit Crab was published as part of Tightfisted Poets, a series of cheap, accessible pamphlets produced by women at Commonword.
