Climate Shift

Today’s draft is inspired by entering a new phase of perimenopause.

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedImagine you could see the plates of the earth shifting,the precise moment where they touch and overlapsending tidal waves over the oceans.In the earth that is my body -- I can.The thin red flush just under my jaw, spreadsover face and chest and whole body.I watch it happen, relax into the tidal wave of heat,the raging of an aging hypothalamus, wait for waves to crash under my skin, leave thin trails of sweatcooling in the summer air.
