Edited Header

I edited my header to include the Greek Language. 

Expressive Quote: Sylvia Plath


"What a million filaments.
The peanut-crunching crowd
Shoves in to see

Them unwrap me hand and foot--
The big strip tease."
From "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath (from poets.org)
font: Josefin Slab & Josefin Sans (from fontquirrel.com)

Expressive Quote


"Windows fall
         as the
atmosphere
stands still--
A fused vacuum
       of air
and white flecks
     that spiral--
Drift, collapse, &
      Eclipse"

A visual interpretation of lines from my own untitled poem
