Very grateful to be part of the 20th issue of The Naïve Journal, created by my dear friend Maurice Levardо.
This edition revolves around Metanoia — the moment when an old inner architecture quietly collapses, and something more honest begins to breathe through the cracks.
My poem 🖤Love in Layers🖤 moves through this threshold: the breaking of inherited language, the untying of knots we once mistook for identity, the strange tenderness of becoming unfamiliar to oneself.
Metanoia rarely arrives politely. It interrupts. It rearranges. It dissolves certainty — and leaves us with something quieter, more porous, more alive.
I am very happy to share this text in such a thoughtful and beautiful context.
Thank you Maurice for creating spaces where transformation can speak.
