Tell Each Other
The following things:
If there’s a rice-looking snot in a nostril (or any shape of snot, actually)
If there’s a dark chunk of food between teeth (or any coloured chunk of food, actually)
If breathe is deathly
If a bra shows through
If ear wax is showing
If one smells like poo
If you need an ear or both
If you need a hug or hand-hold
If you need a laugh or cry
If you need an eye or both
Please, tell each other because
of all the things we say each day
typed or texted or zoomed
we’re doomed
if we can’t ask for what we need
or point out what we see, gently
I’ll tell you you’ll tell me
when I need to wipe my face
for vulnerability stands on grace
& kindness opens space for
Love lots and lots of love

WINNERS!
Congratulations to all those who are National Novel Writing Month Winners! That means they wrote 50,000 words in the month of November! Me, well, I’m not winner this year, coming in with just under 4,000 words. But I tell you what, I handled some desperate structure and plot issues, and feel reignited with my characters and story – ONWARD WRITERS! May the words continue to flow, no matter what the pace!
VANESSA SHIELDS, writer
