These poems weave together the beauty of love and the unspoken battles of chronic pain, bound by the common thread of blood. This collection explores the complexities of intimacy, pain, and a sense of home, with the often-hidden struggle of endometriosis as a central pulse. These verses paint a portrait of a body torn yet tender, where love's warmth meets the sharp realities of chronic illness, in a journey of vulnerability and the profound connection among intimate love, grief, and persistence.
