    Abigail Lee

    Abigail attends Le Moyne College, where she studies English Literature and Education. Always intrigued with reading and writing, especially in the poetry department, Abby has finally pulled her works together and is pleased to introduce Diluted Concentration to the world. Born and raised in Syracuse with five other siblings, she has found her voice in writing. Abigail also plays guitar, enjoys running, and loves to hike and be outdoors. The Adirondack Mountains have a special place in her heart. She hopes her reader can find inspiration in-between the pages of her book, just as she has found inspiration in people and places throughout her life.

      Diluted Concentration - Abigail Lee

      Caterpillar

      Caterpillar, leaf eater, crawls across my skin.

      Wriggle like a caterpillar that crawls across my skin.

      You are lonely you say, you are one in the same.

      Wriggle across my arm, not dead on the tar.

      Accident with fate.

      Crawl across the earth, Caterpillar, leaf eater.
