Dialogue Out Loud Presents In Praise of Belly Buttons (four meditations)

Nonetheless, it expands, inch by inch, week by week, straining veins and skin, with my belly button starting to tighten and protrude outward.”
We present “In Praise of Belly Buttons (four meditations)” in beautiful out loud form
