Speak
Phillip B. Williams, poet and performer, reads a storm-framed poem about a boy drawn to glass and sensation. Short scenes show a fence flattened, a tree through a bedroom, and a child collecting shards. The poem tracks tests of pain, belonging, and a final flash of light that recasts home in a new language.
