<!--Begin Body-->
<span style="font-family:verdana, sans-serif">Twelve <i><b>thresholds</b></i>. <br />
<br />
Twelve <i><b>reckonings</b></i>. <br />
<br />
Each step turns language into a lifeline – a place where pain, reclamation, and rhythm meet. <br />
<br />
These poems live between confession and clarity… where the ink, like a <span class="cpink">lotus</span>, opens only after surviving the <span class="cbrown">silt</span>.<br />
<br />
<i>From surrender to stepwork, each poem peels back another layer of the climb — inked in honesty, rooted in pain, and reaching for bloom.</i></span>
