Read the blood
the variations
the fact
the touch
the craving
Cross-sections
Cut
It looks like a weaving
It is similar
to questions
You plan
Essence
response
measure
perceive
You jump back

Snapping Twig 
In Renee Elton’s Tonic, I love how creativity is condensed to its core: planning, responding, perceiving. It starts with a question and ends with a creation: a surprise.
Renee is truly amazing and brilliant and everything she writes holds its own original presence. A writer who has truly embraced their voice. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and impression of this poem. We appreciate your feedback and for reading with us.
Lovely, I’m still thinking about how our cravings truly do show up in our blood.
