he sat beside her grave
playing his old guitar
like he’d done this for her countless times before
black hat, black boots
marigold flowers
devotion never dies

-Grandmother Moth
Lilith talks candidly about ancestors, the thinning veil, visiting with the dead, ancestor gossip, Santa Muerte, All Souls’ Day and Day of the Dead, and setting boundaries with ancestors we do not want to hear from. She also wanders through naps, charm bracelets, online culture, art and emotion, digital collage, littles, the shadow and higher self, arguments about art, different modes of creating, and finding sparkle in the dark.
