In their own words

Thank you for considering my work. I would be honored to see it find its home with you!

Best,

Candice

First LetterLike the ocean's skinA woven tapestry liesDraped over my house –A dreamy nautical sceneWaves purring at the hearth-stoneReply LetterI drove by to seeBut heard the tiger's heartbeatPanting from behind –I tried to reach out slowlyAnd cut myself on your fang
