Connecting writers, readers, and ideas to each other.
About
Rake the Light is a welcoming intellectual space where writers and readers are invited to discuss contemporary issues and vital questions in an accessible, broad-minded exchange. The goal of this site is to bring together a cross-section of voices through meaningful conversations on important social, cultural, political, economic and spiritual issues—in essence, to create a virtual public square to break down ideological barriers, bridge divides, and connect strangers who may have otherwise never met.
A very visceral poem -- the reader can almost feel the pain of the narrator, physically and emotionally. Blade, prying, battle, skin, flesh, wound. Sharp words that complement the experience of the scar, and ultimately the healing that must be done to see it as not a blemish but, as the poem is titled, a tag of luxury. A new beginning, deeper insight.
