Mayven Song

"And so my precious child, as you prepare to spread your wings and fly, Who am I? When I split open and shed my Selkie skin of Motherhood, What lies beneath? This pelt so soft and now threadbare, warm, and full of comfort. Now peppered with silver threads, worn thin through hugs and healing kisses. What lies beneath?"

The fourth of our Solstice Stories is Mayven Song by Bec Applebee, read by Jo Tinsey, edited by Michael Hall and the music is by Kai Swarvett. Solstice Stories is presented by Rebecca Mordan and is a Scary Little Girls production, supported by FEAST and People’s Postcode Lottery.
