Inheritance by Nichole McElhaney

Sometimes our sadness
is passed down
through the mouths
of our mothers and
the hands of our
fathers and the lack
of everything in between.

Nichole McElhaney is a poetess whose work is heavily influenced by love, loss, witchcraft, and her peculiar obsession with all things melancholy. She is @lunarfolklore on Twitter and Instagram.
