Ep. 8: Tornado

A poem by Liv Ramirez, read by Ashmore.
1

Not many poems strike me like

Tornado.
Out of nowhere, she wrote of a secret part of my life—dragged it from an old, dusty desk drawer, a note I always hated.
I know she speaks of a different Tornado than I.
Still, the piece stirred memories I meant to bury.

Liv wrote one of the most authentic poems I've ever read. Her work doesn’t chase the right words. Or the wrong ones.

It is a ritual past—hers.

And now, somehow, mine.

Smiling–
to conjure yours with mine.

The story of my life. In one sentence.

You can read the full text on her Substack.
