Hey, I’ve got a poem out in Small Wonders today!
Don't let the wolves in at the door - as today's poem "Wolves" by @omgjulia.bsky.social shows us, there are dire consequences:
Wolves - Small Wonders
Wolves always say / You Look Delicious // Say nothing—or— / Say Thank You

Hi all; I'm going to undergo a significant procedure later this year (sorry, would rather not disclose) and my husband's health insurance doesn't cover it. We're going to need funds for the care during and after. Any help would be much appreciated:
