Description

Not many poems strike me like Liv Ramirez 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.
